| Abstract: | Summary Temperature records of a long period (1858–1952) for Athens, in the form of overlapping 30-year intervals, are analyzed with a view to be investigated temperature trends.While the winter temperature has been rising almost continously during the period under consideration, the increase of summer temperature — to which the annual temperature and the annual temperature range as well are rather similar — has occured altogether during the second half of the record. During the first half the summer and annual temperatures and the annual range were all decreasing. The oceanicity increased during the first half and decreased during the second.The total change has been a rise of 0.90 deg. in winter temperature, a fall of 0.7 followed by a rise of 1.00 deg. in summer temperature, and a fall of 0.3 then a rise of 0.70 deg. in annual temperature.The rapid increase of population and also variations in solar activity seem to have partly influenced the Athens temperature trends.Presented at the tenth General Assembly of the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics in Rome (Italy), September 1954. |
