Abstract
We analyzed the observed temperature data for 50 years on 5 representative points in Korea to verify global warming and the increase in climate variability. We found that there was some level of global warming but we could not disregard the effects of urbanization. In addition, we could not find any information for the increase in climate variability.
Keywords
