The Diurnal Temperature Range for Europe: A Search for Cosmic Ray Forbush Decrease Manifestations and the DTR Periodicities

Table 1

Analysis of the chance probability of 2 (or 4) consecutive values of the DTR, Δ, being greater than 0.2°C (or 0.1°C), denoted Δ2, 0.2°C; Δ2, 0.1°C, Δ4, (0.2°C), Δ4, (0.1°C). Values for negative excursions are also indicated; they are essentially the same as for the positive excursions.
2, 0.2°C 20% 4, 0.2°C 8%
2, 0.1°C 26% 4, 0.1°C 12%
2, −0.2°C 22% 4, −0.2°C 9%
2, −0.1°C 29% 4, −0.1°C 10%
