Recently, true seasonal variation with significant periodicities (circannual, semiannual, circatrimensual, circabimensual) and a significant meteotropism have been observed in a number of self-rated characteristics of normal man (arousal, mood, physiology and social behaviour). In order to replicate these findings, two normal controls (a married couple) were asked daily to complete a self-rating scale concerned with the characteristics mentioned above during one calendar year. By means of time series analysis, significant rhythmicities with recurrent cycles in the autorhythmometric data of all of the above characteristics were found. An important part of the variance in these characteristics was found, using multiple regression, to be related to various weather variables, such as mean atmospheric pressure, temperature, relative humidity, wind speed, minutes of sunlight/day and precipitation/day. These results support the hypothesis that temporal variations in human psychological and physiological characteristics may be dictated by the composite effects of past and present atmospheric activity.
最近，在正常男性的一些自评特征（唤醒、情绪、生理和社会行为）中观察到了具有显著周期性（周年、半年、每三个月、每两个月）的真实季节变化以及显著的气象趋性。为了重复这些发现，在一历年中，要求两名正常对照者（一对已婚夫妇）每天完成一份与上述特征相关的自评量表。通过时间序列分析，在上述所有特征的自节律测量数据中发现了具有反复循环的显著节律性。使用多元回归发现，这些特征中一个重要部分的方差与各种天气变量有关，如平均大气压力、温度、相对湿度、风速、每日日照分钟数和每日降水量。这些结果支持了这样一种假设，即人类心理和生理特征的时间变化可能由过去和当前大气活动的综合影响所决定。
