[en] In this work, we show that the lull periods of the warming episodes observed in the surface temperatures (GISS,...) can be explained through the natural variability of the climate. To do so, we use the wavelet transform to extract the physical modes in the temperature data (which can be seen as am-fm components) and show that these modes induce coolings that corresponds to the lull periods empirically observed.
