The Appearance of 'Climate Change' and 'Global Warming" in AMS Scientific Articles [Time Series]
Below is a plot showing the time series of the number of articles mentioning ‘Climate Change’ and ‘Global Warming’ as well as the total number of articles published each year by American Meteorological Society (AMS) journals . The time series was constructed by searching the appearance of both phrases at least once in the abstracts. The first article mentioning climate change in AMS journals was published in October 1958 by Richard Fay from the United States Weather Bureau. The name of the article is “ Some Variations in European Climatic Temperature ” and its abstract is: “An attempt is made to depict mean circulation patterns associated with observed-temperature climate changes in northwest Europe during the period 1780–1930. Use is made of observed pressure gradients associated with warm and cold seasons and of computed annual wind directions at several stations. Results are presented as possible winter and summer mean circulation patter
