This paper discusses the state of European research in historical climatology. This field of
science and an overview of its development are described in detail. Special attention is …

Past natural and future anthropogenic drought variability has and will impact terrestrial
ecosystems, agricultural productivity, socio-economic conditions, and public health on …

We present seasonal precipitation reconstructions for European land areas (30° W to 40°
E/30–71° N; given on a 0.5°× 0.5° resolved grid) covering the period 1500–1900 together …

Abstract Monthly (1659–1995) and seasonal (1500–1658) North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO)
indices were estimated using instrumental and documentary proxy predictors from Eurasia …

Canonical correlation analysis is used to identify main coupled circulation–rainfall patterns
and to relate recent variability and trends of Mediterranean precipitation to large-scale …

Spatially and temporally high-resolution estimates of past natural climate variability are
important to assess recent significant climate trends. The mid-latitude atmospheric …

The interannual and decadal variability of summer (June to September) air temperature over
the Mediterranean area is analyzed for the period 1950 to 1999. The combined influence of …

Temperature reconstructions from Europe for the past 500 years based on documentary and
instrumental data are analysed. First, the basic documentary data sources, including …

Atmospheric circulation leaves few direct traces in the geological record, making
reconstructions of this crucial element of the climate system inherently difficult. We produced …

Long-Term Variability of Daily North Atlantic–European Pressure Patterns since 1850
Classified by Simulated Annealing Clustering in: Journal of Climate Volume 20 Issue 16 (2007) …
