✦ Synopsis

Eighteen stations are considered for the study of climatic records over Turkey in search for possible trends. Mean, unfiltered, seasonal and annual maximum and minimum temperatures are analysed using the Mann-Kendall rank statistic to demonstrate any existence of possible trends.

The analyses indicate that the mean annual temperature records in Turkey have a warming trend over the 1939 to 1989 period, but a cooling trend from 1955 to 1989. These trends in mean annual temperatures, however, are not statistically significant. Comparatively greater warming effects have occurred in spring and winter minimum rather than the maximum temperature records. A regional increase in the mean minimum temperature around 1955 is attributed to the urban heat island effect. In general, general circulation models (GCM) predictions are consistent with the sign of the trends only in Turkish

## Abstract A high elevation data set of surface temperatures from the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains in Colorado, USA, is analysed for evidence of long‐term change (1952–98). Sites range from the high plains of Colorado (1509 m) to the alpine tundra (3749 m). Systematic changes in surface‐base

## Abstract Monthly and seasonal variations in surface air temperature (SAT) over Mexico have not received much research attention, a situation partly reflecting the lack of a coherent historical data set. As a step toward rectifying the data gap, this study outlines the development of a gridded mo
