Die Klimavariabilitat im europaischen Alpenraum auf der Zeitskala von Jahren bis Jahrhunderten Neue Zeitreihen von Proxydaten und friihen Instrumentenmessungen aus den Alpen erlauben eine prazisere Interpretation der Klimavariabilitat sowie der dahinter verborgenen Prozesse. Die Studie zeigt, daB wahrend Phasen mit unterschiedlichen Antriebscharakteristiken (forcings) des Klimasystems spezifische Temperatur- und Niederschlagsanomalien auftreten. So wurde wahrend der schwachen Solaraktivitat des Maunder Minimums eine Tendenz zu kalten und trockenen Wintern sowie feuchten Sommern registriert. Nach tropischen Vulkanausbruchen waren die Sommer mehrheitlich kalt, und in der rezenten Phase der zunehmenden Treibhausgase werden vor allem warme Winter beobachtet. Die Korrelationen zwischen den natiir lichen und anthropogenen Forcing-Faktoren und dem Nordatlantischen Oszillationsindex zeigen kein eindeutiges Bild. Immerhin kann festgestellt werden, daB der Index wahrend der trockenkalten Winter des spaten Maunder Minimums mit geringer Solaraktivitat betont negativ war. Die VorstoBphasen der zwei betrachteten Alpengletscher sind bedingt durch ein komplexes Temperatur- und Niederschlagsmuster in Winter und Sommer. Es wird vorgeschlagen, diese VorstoBphasen mit dem englischen Ausdruck Ice Age Type zu benennen. Summary: New sets of proxy and early instrumental data from the European Alps allow deeper insights into climate variability and its underlying processes on varying timescales. The study indicates that periods with different forcing character istics show specific temperature and precipitation anomalies: Cold and dry winters as well as wet summers during the low solar activity period of the Maunder Minimum, cold summers after tropical volcanic eruptions and warm winters in the recent period with an increasing greenhouse gas concentration. The relation between periods with a prevailing positive or negative mode of the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) and this natural or anthropogenic forcing is very complex. At least it can be stated that the negative or meridional mode of NAO dominated during the low solar activity period with the cold and dry winters of the late Maunder Minimum. The advance periods of the two selected Alpine glaciers are obviously driven by characteristic but varying temperature and precipitation courses during winter and summer. It is suggested to call these periods Little Ice Age Type Events (LIATE's)
