of the 3.24 d
signal was preferentially boosted.

To solve this problem I looked at three patterns
of the 6558 day period, overlaid them at the daily weather
data level, and plotted the resultant combined
signal for Precipitation, and temperature patterns for the USA, extended that cyclic interpenetration for a six year period, and plotted
out maps to show the repeating reoccurring patterns in the global circulation, as a (6 year long stretch, we are now ~ 40 months into the posted 6 years long) forecast for part
of the current repeat
of the 6558 day long cycle.

out the human
signal from the background natural variability
signal.

It turns
out to be nearly equal to the average
of all five
data sets, and the
signal associated with it (the 1st empirical orthogonal function or EOF) is, just as we expected, the warming - with - fluctuations which is common to all (I've scaled it so that it's on a «temperature» scale):
Bottomline is that Chylek's supposedly highly researched article on finding periodic
