Characteristic Time Scales of Decadal to Centennial Changes in Global Surface Temperatures Over the Past 150 Years

Abstract We apply singular spectral analysis (SSA) to series of monthly mean values of surface air temperatures T, International sunspot number (ISSN), and polar faculae PF (1850–2017 for T and ISSN). The efficiency of the SSA algorithm that we use has been regularly improved. For the T, ISSN, and P...
