Teleconnections of air temperature variations over the European part of Russia during intensive global warming at the end of the 20th century and at the beginning of the 21st century

Presented are the results of studying the spatial correlations between the air temperature over the European part of Russia and the sea surface temperature in different parts of the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian oceans. The analysis of correlations demonstrated the existence of synchronous variations. Depending on the area, these variations can be in phase or in antiphase, that is manifested in the presence of positive and negative teleconnections. Perhaps, the obtained statistical teleconnections are the effects of some global natural fluctuation processes of the climate system taking place synchronously throughout the globe and controlled by the general mechanism.
