Sixty-Day Temperature Persistence At Five-Day Intervals For Minneapolis-St. Paul, Charles J. Fisk
Sixty-Day Temperature Persistence At Five-Day Intervals For Minneapolis-St. Paul, Charles J. Fisk
Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science
The annual course of 60-day temperature persistence for Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minnesota is examined at five -clay intervals for the last 110 years. Results show maximum persistence for the 60-day periods February 20 to April 20 and June 25 to August 23. Minimum persistence is observed for sequences whose midpoints correspond to late April, late September and mid-November. This suggests the presence of a single favored regime-breaking period for the winter to summer transition and two such periods for summer to winter.

Eigenvalues and eigenvectors computed on 30-year normals indicate an unusually high spatial homogeneity of annual precipitation curve shape in Minnesota. The generalized shape accounts for about 99 per cent of the observed variance and meshes well with the overall pattern of the central United States. Interesting deviations do occur, however. These deviations suggest fundamental questions about precipitation-causing processes which should be investigated in the future.
