Summary

Fluctuations of the surface air temperature averaged globally are presented for 16 years from 1957 to 1972 by objective analysis of the global network data. The results show appreciable effects of large eruptions of volcanoes on the hemispheric and/or global mean temperatures.

Zusammenfassung

Schwankungen der Lufttemperatur in Bodennähe, global gemittelt, wurden für die 16 Jahre von 1957 bis 1972 auf Grund objektiver Analysen des globalen Beobachtungsnetzes ermittelt. Die Resultate zeigen beachtliche Effkete starker Vulkanausbrüche auf hemisphärische sowie globale Mitteltemperaturen.
