| Abstract: | We apply Fourier and wavelet analyses to the precipitation and sunspot numbers in the time series (1901–2000) over Australia
(27°S, 133°E), Canada (60°N, 95°W), Ethiopia (8°N, 38°E), Greenland (72°N, 40°W), United Kingdom (54°N, 2°W), India (20°N,
77°E), Iceland (65°N, 18°W), Japan (36°N, 138°E), United States (38°N, 97°W), South Africa (29°S, 24°E) and Russia (60°N,
100°E). Correlation analyses were also performed to find any relation among precipitation, sunspot numbers, temperature, and
cloud-cover at the same spatial and temporal scale. Further correlations were also performed between precipitation with electron
and proton fluence at the time interval, 1987–2006. All these parameters were considered in annual and seasonal scales. Though
correlation study between precipitation and other parameters do not hint any linear relation, still the Fourier and wavelet
analyses give an idea of common periodicities. The 9–11 year periodicity of sunspot numbers calculated by Fourier transform
is also confirmed by wavelet transform in annual scale. Similarly, wavelet analysis for precipitation also supports the short
periods at 2–5 years which is verified by Fourier transform in discontinuous time over different geographic regions. |
