Resumo
Eight Northern Hemisphere temperature reconstructions covering time intervals of 1192–2016 years were analyzed using Fourier and wavelet analysis and principal component analysis. A hemispheric-scale cyclicity with a period of 170–250 years was found, manifested over the past 1000 years. It was shown that this variation may have a certain contribution to the warming in the first half of the 20th century. However, the last 4–5 decades are most likely a period of decline in this cycle. Although the period of the detected variation is close to the period of the Suess solar cycle, no connection between the temperature and solar cyclicities could be found. Possible sources of the detected bicentennial periodicity are discussed.
