Abstract

A hypothesis is putts forward assuming that the external forcing action synchronizes the climatic processes and manifest itself in the similarity of their essential indicators. Orthogonal components of processes, differing in coincidence or non-coincidence of the essential indicators are introduced. The theory is applied to decompose a series of temperature and the Wolf numbers. It is found that the average quantities of orthogonal components of temperatures form areas either positive or negative values. In the same areas, delinited by the zero isotherms, fall average quantities of the same components of the Wolf numbers. Compliance with the physics of climatic processes is confirmed by the intersection near the vernal equinox of annual cycle of the numbers of the weather stations, which belong to the areas of monthly average positive or negative temperatures. A new tool is found to analyze the information contained in the observation data of climatic processes.
