Observed Subdecadal Variations of European Summer Temperatures [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2020 AbstractWe identify subdecadal variations in European summer temperatures in coupled and uncoupled century‐long reanalyses. Spectral analyses reveal significant peaks at 5–10 years in the midtwentieth century. The subdecadal variations show substantial amplitudes of ~1–1.5 °C, associated with extremely warm summers during their positive phases.
