Power spectrum analysis is applied to annual and seasonal temperature data at three Greek stations. The results are tabulated and oscillations of 9, 4.8, 4.0, 2.7 and 2.2 years occur in most sets of data. The statistical importance of the results is indicated by 95 per cent, 90 per cent and null continuum levels. The quasi‐biennial oscillation is very clear but seems to be composed of individual cycles of 24, 26 and 32 months.
