Concerning regional differences long-term temperature variability is regionally highly similar for the
entire GAR: the Mediterranean parts not different to the Atlantic – continental sector, as well as a high
similarity of high elevation (2000 to 3400m asl) vs. low elevation sites. Long-term precipitation variability on the contrary shows several subregionally different features. Especially the Mediterranean part has sometimes even opposite trend signs versus the Atlantic subregion for several decades. Sharp recent wetting trends in autumn in the past 20 years, wet summers, autumns and winters versus dry springs in the 1800 to 1850 period, warm springs and summers versus cool winters near 1800, mild winters-cool summers in the 1910s, air-pressure seasonal features closely following those of temperature. The most striking regional air pressure differences are given for the low vs. high elevation subgroups. Low elevation air pressure mimics air temperature very closely – thus indicating a strong respective advective forcing in the GAR. The stronger centennial air pressure increase of the high vs. the low elevation subgroup on the other hand has been used as an independent and “nonthermometric” proof for 19th-20th century warming of a “mean Alpine air column” in the region representative for the lower 3 km of the troposphere. |
