Profile of the climate change in the Kingdom of Bahrain
10.1002/env.620.abs
Long‐term meteorological data from the Kingdom of Bahrain (1902 to 2001), along with other data from the Sultanate of Oman and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, were used to study the profile and the characteristics of the climate changes in the Kingdom of Bahrain. This article illustrates the possible effects of several factors, such as greenhouse gases (GHG), sunspot number, cosmic ray flux, planet conjunctions, the Earth's magnetic field, as well as volcanic eruption, on the profile of the climate change. In general, we found that the temperature variations, to a certain extent, are associated with the cyclic variations in sunspot number (the 11‐year cycle), which in turn affect the pattern of the cosmic ray flux due to the distortion of the interplanetary magnetic field. The latter is believed to influence cloud formation. In addition, the discrepancy in the climate change pattern in Bahrain was also attributed to the combined effect of the high local level of CO2 emissions as well as that of other cooling gases in the region.
