Abstract
It has been established that minimum temperatures have been increasing with time at a higher rate than maximum temperatures for the past sev eral decades, most prominently for large parts of the Northern Hemisph ere land mass, but in other areas as well. We demonstrate that (for Ch ina, at least) this increase in nighttime temperatures is not necessar ily the result of changes in cloud cover for the period 1951-1990.
