The JU-CM-CS effects seem to have left their mark still in other climatic
features. The longest records of ice in the western North Atlantic are derived
from the yearly counts of the number of icebergs that pass south of latitude
48" N to affect the shipping lanes.ln These counts are quoted in terms of the
Smith-index which provides a scde from -5 to +5. The time series covers the
period 1880 to 1976. As the counts refer to higher latitudes, the position of the
crucial epochs in the sine wave should show no phase shift. This turns out to
be true. The test of both groups, processed in the same way as the German,
England and Wales, and U.S. rainfall data, yields the following result: n, = 56;
f, = 5.32; s, = 7.17. n, = 40; i, = 2.68; s, = 3.37, t (df=&Q) = 2.41; P = 0.009.
The rejection of the null hypothesis is again justified at a high level of
significance.

Temperature opens a further field of replication. F. Baur'05 established a time
series of yearly temperature averages (OC) based on the respective means of
the stations Utrecht-de BiIt, Potsdam, Basle, and Vienna. With extensions
taken from the "Berliner Wetterkarte", the series covers the period 1851-1983.
The sine wave method, as applied to the central European rainfall data, gives
the following values: n, = 77; P, = 0.463; st = 0.619. n2 = 55; f, = 0.217; s, =
0.3. t (df=118) = 3; P< 0.002. This result is again highly significant. Yearly
mean temperatures in central England for the period 1851 - l976lm offer
occasion for another replication. The result is significant, but less striking: n,
= 69; f, = 0.293; s, = 0.382, n, = 56; f, = 0.196; s, = 0.274. t (df=123) = 1.65;
P = 0.05. As was to be expected, there are no indications of a phase shift.
Phases -rr radians (180") point to series of years showing little contrast in
temperature, whereas JU-CM-CS epochs are characterized by sequences of
alternately hot and cold years. An analysis of annual average temperatures of
the Northern Hemisphere for the period 1850 - 1978 yielded no significant
difference of the means of groups formed with respect to epochs of JU- CM-CS
events. This may be due to phase differences in different geographical
latitudes that cancel out.
These are the first results in the field of solar-terrestrial relations regarding
weather which cover large areas and long periods consistently. Moreover, they
are accessible to prediction because they are based on configurations of cosmic
bodies in the solar system that can be computed. The results of this new kind
of interdisciplinary approach, which integrates astrological views and modem
science, should be intriguing enough to induce experts in the different fields
involved to follow the trace outlined in this study.
