Mean, minimum, and maximum temperature trends were investigated for the province of Alberta. Measured temperature data from 25 Alberta climate stations were used to identify annual and monthly temperature trends observed in the province, and outputs from a GCM (global climate model) were used to estimate annual trends. Trends in the minimum and maximum temperatures were compared, and these trends were compared to the trends estimated using GCM outputs. In addition to analyzing the observed temperature trends spatially, a temporal analysis was performed to investigate the effect of time period on the magnitude of temperature trends in Alberta.
Observed temperature trends were examined over two time periods, 1938–1995 and 1960–1995. The observational temperature data indicate that Alberta has undergone warming since the 1930s. The mean temperature increase over the 1938–1995 period was 0.6°C, or 0.1°C/decade. Over the more recent time period, 1960–1995, mean temperature increased 1.3°C, or at an average rate of 0.4°C/decade. Therefore, the rate of mean temperature increase over the shorter, more recent time period was four times the rate of increase over the longer time period. In addition, more stations had statistically significant trends over the more recent time period.
