Analýza měsíčních teplotních časových řad v Evropě a Severní Americe v letech 1959–2018

This bachelor thesis is focused on analysis of time series of monthly average temperatures measured at nine selected meteorological stations, five of which are located in North America and the remaining four in Europe. The work covers the period from 1959 to 2018. The data were taken from a public US-based database National Centers for Environmental Information. The aim of this thesis is to analyze and compare the evolution of selected time series. Eight out of the nine stations are arranged in pairs, so that both of the stations in a certain pair have a nearly identical latitude while also being located on a different continent to the other station in that pair. Basic descriptive characteristics of selected time series were used, as well as their decomposition and trend functions were used for modelling the trend part of the time series. Another goal will be to examine whether the average monthly temperature at all stations has risen in the aforementioned time period, whether the stations on one continent show any different developments to the ones on the other continent, and if a possible rise in the average temperature is more apparent nearer to the poles.
