Global Signatures and Dynamical Origins of the Little Ice Age and Medieval Climate Anomaly

TL;DR: The Medieval period is found to display warmth that matches or exceeds that of the past decade in some regions, but which falls well below recent levels globally, and the Little Ice Age is marked by a tendency for La Niña–like conditions in the tropical Pacific.
Journal ArticleDOI

Proxy-based reconstructions of hemispheric and global surface temperature variations over the past two millennia

TL;DR: The results extend previous conclusions that recent Northern Hemisphere surface temperature increases are likely anomalous in a long-term context to at least the past 1,700 years, but with additional strong caveats.
Journal ArticleDOI

Atlantic hurricanes and climate over the past 1,500 years

TL;DR: The statistical model indicates that the medieval peak, which rivals or even exceeds (within uncertainties) recent levels of activity, results from the reinforcing effects of La-Niña-like climate conditions and relative tropical Atlantic warmth.
Journal ArticleDOI

Alternative methods of proxy-based climate field reconstruction: application to summer drought over the conterminous United States back to AD 1700 from tree-ring data

TL;DR: In this paper, an alternative method of climate field reconstruction and test it against an existing set of dendroclimatic reconstructions of summer drought patterns over the conterminous US back to AD 1700 was described.
