  • Implications arising from models of solar irradiance

    Open AccessRaymond S Bradley, Heinz Wanner et al.ARTICLEThe Holocene2016References: 1

    Models of solar irradiance have been revised recently, leading to the current view that previous estimates of maximum total solar irradiance (TSI) in the 18th and 19th centuries were too low and should be adjusted upwards to be comparable with values in the 20th century. This adjustment is small (~0.03%) but implies a greater amplitude of irradiance change over recent centuries. This has no bearing on our concept of a Medieval Quiet Period

  • The Medieval Quiet Period

    Open AccessRaymond S Bradley, Heinz Wanner et al.ARTICLEThe Holocene2016Cited by: 6References: 1

    For several centuries in early Medieval times the climate system was relatively unperturbed by natural forcing factors, resulting in a unique period of climate stability. We argue that this represents a reference state for the Common Era, well before anthropogenic forcing became the dominant driver of the climate system

  • Some Perspectives on Societal Impacts of Past Climatic Changes

    Open AccessHenry F Díaz, Valerie TrouetARTICLEHistory Compass2014Cited by: 3References: 26

    We examine a range of paleoclimatic evidence covering approximately the last 2000 years (the Common Era) to provide plausible environmental scenarios as potential drivers and stressors associated with major societal disruption in different parts of the world. The period studied covers both historical, for which there is documentary evidence of impacts, and prehistorical events, for which impacts are inferred from the archeological record. Drought…

  • A 1500-year reconstruction of annual mean temperature for temperate North America on decadal-to-multidecadal time scales

    Open AccessValerie Trouet, Henry F Díaz et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2013

    We present two reconstructions of annual average temperature over temperate North America: a tree-ring based reconstruction at decadal resolution (1200–1980 CE) and a pollen-based reconstruction at 30 year resolution that extends back to 480 CE. We maximized reconstruction length by using long but low-resolution pollen records and applied a three-tier calibration scheme for this purpose. The tree-ring-based reconstruction was calibrated against i…

  • Climate in Medieval Time

    Open AccessRaymond S Bradley, Malcolm K Hughes et al.ARTICLEScience2003

    Many papers have referred to a "Medieval Warm Period." But how well defined is climate in this period, and was it as warm as or warmer than it is today? In their Perspective, Bradley et al. review the evidence and conclude that although the High Medieval (1100 to 1200 A.D.) was warmer than subsequent centuries, it was not warmer than the late 20th century. Moreover, the warmest Medieval temperatures were not synchronous around the globe. Large ch…

  • Eigenvector Analysis of Reconstructed Holocene July Temperature Departures over Northern Canada

    Open AccessJohn T Andrews, Henry F DíazARTICLEQuaternary Research1981

    July temperatures for the past 6000 yr at 11 sites in northern Canada have been predicted by transfer-function equations. Normalized departures from the mean of each time series at 250-yr intervals are analyzed by principal component (eigenvector) analysis. An initial analysis included 9 sites and the first three principal components accounted for 85.7% of the variance. Maps of the loadings on the principal components show broad spatial coherence…
