On the relationship between global, hemispheric and latitudinal
averaged air surface temperature (GISS time series) and solar activity, Souza Echer et al, 10/2008; read more here.
Analysis of contributions to global mean air surface temperature rise
Empirical analysis of the solar contribution to global mean
air surface temperature change (PDF), Nicola Scafetta, 12/2009, Journal of Atmospheric and Solar - Terrestrial Physics, Volume 71, Issues 17 - 18, pp. 1916 - 1923
Air surface temperatures have also been shocking climate scientists.
They identified at least three different definitions of any so - called hiatus, different judgments of the extent of the period under discussion and different starting points, and of course the problem of different datasets of global
air surface temperatures.
