Abstract
A spectral analysis of the 12-monthly running means of the global radi ation ratio K-r observed at Wageningen (52 degrees N, 6 degrees E) sho wed significant QBO, QTO (Quasi-biennial and Quasi-triennial Oscillati ons) and higher periodicities, with the strongest peak at ca.22 years but none at the solar cycle (11 years). All these are probably due to similar periodicities in cloudiness. (C) 1997 by the Royal Meterologic al Society.
