Summary

The variation of the Etesians within the sunspot cycle was examined according to observations made at the Athens Observatory during the period 1893–1958. This was made by the actual numbers of the Etesians days and the sunspots as by means of the smoothed values of the above elements through the formula (a+2b+c): 4. It was found that there is a single oscillation of the Etesians within the sunspot cycle and also that the correlation between sunspots and Etesians is rather high.

Résumé

Dans cette étude est examinée la variation des Etésiens pendant le cycle des taches solaires basée sur les observations faites à l'Observatoire d'Athènes durant la période 1893–1958. Dans ce but ont été considerés d'une part les jours réels des Etésiens et les nombres des taches solaires et d'autre les valeurs de ces éléments calculées par la formule (a+2b+c): 4. Il a été constaté que la fréquence des Etésiens présente une simple variation pendant le cycle solaire et qu'il y a une assez grande corrélation entre les taches solaires et les Etésiens.
