We have applied the standard wavelet and the adaptive wavelet transform algorithms to the record of the Central England Temperature (CET) from 1659-1990. Peaks in the CET spectra include 7.5+/-1.0 yr, 14.4+/-1.0 yr, 23.5+/-2.0 yr, as well as a previously unreported variation at 102+/-15 yr. Our wavelet analysis of CET agrees with previous results from Singular Spectrum Analysis (SSA) by Plaut et al. [1995] and gives additional results of variability on longer timescales. The interdecadal and century-scale variability in CET is strongly dependent on the interval of analysis. Estimates of a data trend are also shown to be sensitive to the cutoff timescale of the filter. A cooling of ~0.3°C during 1659-1720 is found relative to the temperatures during the 1800s. The complex time dependence of the actual data cautions against using model-derived representations of natural variability on such long timescales.
