Observations of anthropogenic global warming

New research – April and May 2015

Posted by Ari Jokimäki on June 15, 2015

In February, I stopped providing daily new climate research posts in social media. However, I still keep an eye on new publications. Below are some new climate related papers from April and May 2015. They are not ordered by subject but roughly by publication time. There are 196 papers in the list.
