* '''summary''': <call func=smw.let.echo key=Summary>"Natural fluctuations in the ocean temperature in the North Atlantic have a significant impact on the climate in the northern hemisphere. These fluctuations are the result of a complex dance between the forces of nature, but researchers at Aarhus University can now show that solar activity and the impact of volcanic eruptions have led this dance during the last two centuries."</call>
<blockquote>
<p>The results actually showed that during the last approximately 250 years � since the period known as the Little Ice Age � a clear correlation can be seen where the external forces, i.e. the Sun�s energy cycle and the impact of volcanic eruptions, are accompanied by a corresponding temperature fluctuation with a time lag of about five years.</p>

<p>In the previous two centuries, i.e. during the Little Ice Age, the link was not as strong, and the temperature of the Atlantic Ocean appears to have followed its own rhythm to a greater extent.</p>

<p>The results were recently published in the scientific journal [http://www.nature.com/ncomms/2014/140225/ncomms4323/full/ncomms4323.html Nature Communications].</p>
