A COMPARISON OF THE CLIMATE OF THE EASTERN UNITED STATES DURING THE 1830's WITH THE CURRENT NORMALS
TLDR
A comparison of climatic data for the eastern United States from the 1830's and 1840's with the currently valid climatic normals indicates a distinctly cooler and, in some areas, wetter climate in the first half of the last century as mentioned in this paper.Abstract:
A comparison of climatic data for the eastern United States from the 1830's and 1840's with the currently valid climatic normals indicates a distinctly cooler and, in some areas, wetter climate in the first half of the last century. The recently appearing trend to cooler conditions noticed here and elsewhere could be indicative of a return to the climatic character of those earlier years.read more

Stochastic dynamic prediction
TL;DR: Stochastic dynamic prediction as mentioned in this paper assumes the laws governing atmospheric behavior are entirely deterministic, but seeks solutions corresponding to probabilistic statements of the initial conditions, thus recognizing the impossibility of exact or sufficiently dense observations.

Sensitivity of cool-temperate forests and their fossil pollen record to rapid temperature change
TL;DR: Simulations of cool-temperate forest growth in response to climatic change using the JABOWA computer model show that a decrease of 600 growing degree-days causes red spruce to replace sugar maple as the dominant tree, implying that fossil pollen deposits may not be able to resolve climatic changes within 100–200 yr, or to record very brief climatic events.

Holocene climatic variations inferred from treeline fluctuations in the White Mountains, California
TL;DR: In this paper, remains of dead bristlecone pine (Pinus longaeva Bailey) are found at altitudes up to 150 m above present treeline in the White Mountains.

Man-Made Climatic Changes: Man's activities have altered the climate of urbanized areas and may affect global climate in the future
TL;DR: On the local scale man-made influences on climate are substantial but that on the global scale natural forces still prevail, and activation of an adequate worldwide monitoring system to permit early assessment of these changes is urgent.

Frost followed the plow: impacts of deforestation on the climate of the united states
TL;DR: In this article, a 10-yr climate simulation with a global climate model using natural and modern vegetation maps for land surface boundary conditions showed that the conversion of forest to cropland in the eastern and central United States cooled climate.

Recent secular changes of global temperature
TL;DR: In this paper, a re-analysis of updated global temperature data is presented, and a preliminary evaluation of their significance to extant quantitative theories of secular climatic change is made. But it is not clear whether the global warming trend has actually leveled off in recent years, as suggested by recent studies of Arctic data in the Scandinavian sector.

Heat flux in lake mendota1
John A. Dutton,Reid A. Bryson +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the physical processes of heat transfer at the lake surface and the internal heat flux are studied for ‘average’ Lake Mendota and for 1958-59 The surface heat budget is determined quantitatively Details of the internal fluxes of the heat supplied or lost at the surface are discussed, with emphasis on the effects of wind stirring and hydrostatic stability.

Geological and Historical Aspects of Climatic Change
TL;DR: The Mild Climates of the Greater Part of Geological Time as mentioned in this paper is a review of geological climates with a study of the warm periods, and two epochs may be selected as typical, the Jurassic and the Eocene.
