Regional Climate Change Symptoms Indication

Abstract

Several long-term durations (61,85 and 38 years) of climatological records are comparatively evaluated, aimed at indicating regional climate change symptoms. Meteorological parameters such as air temperature, rainfall capacity, wind velocity, gust wind, event frequency, relative humidity and radiation are included. The conclusion indicates the differences between larger and smaller regions, including Jerusalem, the Kinneret drainage basin, and the Hula Valley. Sixty-one years of daily record (1908-1969) of daily rainfall capacity in Jerusalem do not confirm climate change, whilst several climatological parameters recorded in the Hula valley suggest regional climate change.
