Global temperature series have contributions from difierent sources, such as volcanic eruptions and El Ni~no Southern Oscillation variations. We investigate independent component analysis as a technique to separate unrelated sources present in such series. We flrst use artiflcial data, with known independent components, to study the conditions under which ICA can separate the individual sources. We then illustrate the method with climate data from the National Centers for Environmental Prediction.
