Monthly, seasonal and annual temperature reconstructions
for Central Europe derived from documentary evidence
and instrumental records since AD 1500.
Climatic Change, 101, 1-2, 69-107. DOI 10.1007/s10584-009-9724-x
Monthly temperature series for Central Europe back to AD 1500
are developed from documentary index series from Germany,
Switzerland and the Czech Republic (1500–1854) and 11 instrumental
temperature records (1760–2007). Documentary evidence from the
Low Countries, the Carpathian Basin and Poland are used for
cross-checking for earlier centuries. The instrumental station
records are corrected for inhomogeneities, including insufficient
radiation protection of early thermometers and the urban heat island
effect. For overlapping period (1760-1854), the documentary data
series correlate with instrumental temperatures, most strongly
in winter (86% explained variance in January) and least in autumn
(56% in September). For annual average temperatures, 81% of the
variance is explained. Verification statistics indicate high
reconstruction skill for most months and seasons. The last 20 years
(since 1988) stand out as very likely the warmest 20-year period,
accounting for the calibration uncertainty and decreases in proxy
data quality before the calibration period. The new reconstruction
displays a previously unobserved long-term decrease in DJF, MAM
and JJA temperature variability over last five centuries. Compiled
monthly, seasonal and annual series can be used to improve the
robustness of gridded large-scale European temperature
reconstructions and possible impact studies. Further improvement
of the reconstruction would be achieved if documentary data from
other European countries are further developed.
STUDY NOTES: In this study, we utilize temperature index series that were constructed exclusively from descriptive documentary evidence and have therefore not been ‘biased’ with indices constructed from non-systematic early instrumental measurements or from other proxies. Furthermore we prefer to use monthly indices that were constructed
year by year using the seven-degree scale. Temperature index series for the following countries and periods were used: DE (1500-1760), CZ (1500-1854), CH (1501-1816),
PL (1501-1700) and CB (1516-1870). The LC index data, because of their different definition, are not considered in this section but are used in Section 6 for cross-comparison.
