Global Warming, Spatial and Temporal Patterns in Europe. Using the mean annual temperatures measured in 69 European weather stations in a linear trend analysis, a comparison was made between the results thus obtained and those generated by modelling. The study aimed to outline both spatial features by mapping the trend slopes calculated for the century 1891-1990 and temporal ones resulted from decadal trend analysis. The identification of a single cooling area in central position was thus possible, along with the 3 synthetic temporal models specific to Europe, different from those inferred from the global values or those of Northern Hemisphere only. The results of linear trend analysis correspond to those of modelling, confirming the increasing values of temperatures measured in Europe during the last century.

Keywords: global warming, linear trend, statistical significance, trend slope.
