Analysis of Recent Mean Temperature Trends and Relationships with Teleconnection Patterns in California (U.S.)
[EN] The global mean surface temperature has risen since the late 19th century. However, temperatures do not increase uniformly in space or time and few studies have focused on that peculiarity in the State of California. The aim of this research is to deepen our knowledge of the evolution of mean t...

[EN] The global mean surface temperature has risen since the late 19th century.
