Trends of climate change as related to elevation above sea level

International Journal of Global Warming (IJGW), Vol. 7, No. 3, 2015

Abstract: The HadCRUT3 data are used to analyse the dependence of the linear correlation slope parameter between monthly temperatures and atmospheric CO₂ concentrations. The analysis demonstrated that the mean correlation coefficient at all elevations is always positive. This indicates an increase in the mean surface temperatures with increasing CO₂ concentrations. Furthermore, it is shown that the positive values of the mean correlation coefficients are strongly related to the elevation above sea level. Most significantly is the decrease in this value at positions located at 100-400 metres above sea level.
