Seasonal, longitudinal, and latitudinal differences in air temperatures in Russia in years of sunspot maxima and minima

Abstract

Based on an analysis of a large array of meteorological data, we have shown that surface air temperatures differ significantly in years of sunspot maxima and minima for different months and latitudes and longitudes of observation points. This difference is the greatest at high latitudes of 60-83°; it is equal to +2.07 ± 0.28°C in February in the longitudinal range of 170 ± 190° and -1.41 ± 0.29°C in November in the longitude range of 150 ± 170°.[PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
