Some causes of rapid changes in temperature patterns

  • Njau, E.c

Abstract

It was shown in another recent publication by the author that, for each sunspot cycle, there exists in the surface-atmosphere system (SAS) two quasi-sinusoidal temperature variations each at the frequency of the sunspot cycle. The first of these two variations is much smaller than the other one and is always in phase with the associated sunspot cycle. However, the second of the two variations is relatively huge and is always not in phase with the associated sunspot cycle. Here we illustratively describe how the smaller temperature variations associated with sunspot cycles participate in causing large and rapid changes in temperature patterns.
