Climatic changes in the Austrian Alps during the period 1775-1989
Keywords:
Climatic variations, Glacier fluctuations, Austrian AlpsAbstract
The homogenized series of regional averages of temperature observations made in the Austrian network (58 stations) during the period 1775-1989 are submitted to a trend analysis based jointly on the use of the non-parametric Pettitt’s change-point determination and on the sequential application of the non parametric Mann’s trend test. At the seasonal scale, an abrupt decrease of the means is evidenced round 1830 for the four seasons, followed by abrupt increases placed round 1910 for winter and spring, and round 1930 for summer and autumn. The relation with the Alpine glaciers evolution is discussed.
