Five centuries of Stockholm winter/spring temperatures reconstructed
from documentary evidence and instrumental observations.
Climatic Change, Published online 28 August 2009.
DOI 10.1007/s10584-009-9650-y
Historical documentary sources, reflecting different port activities
in Stockholm, are utilised to derive a 500-year winter/spring
temperature reconstruction for the region. These documentary sources
reflect sea ice conditions in the harbour inlet and those series that
overlap with the instrumental data correlate well with winter/spring
temperatures. By refining dendroclimatological methods, the time-series
were composited to a mean series and calibrated (1756–1841; r2 = 66%)
against Stockholm January-April temperatures. Strong verification
was confirmed (1842-1892; r2 = 60%; RE/CE = 0.55). By including the
instrumental data, the quantified (QUAN) reconstruction indicates that
recent two decades have been the warmest period for the last 500 years.
Coldest conditions occurred during the 16th/17th and early 19th centuries.
An independent qualitative (QUAL) historical index was also derived
for the Stockholm region. Comparison between QUAN and QUAL shows good
coherence at inter-annual time-scales, but QUAL distinctly appears to
lack low frequency information. Comparison is also made to other winter
temperature based annually resolved records for the Baltic region.
Between proxy coherence is generally good although it decreases going
back in time with the 1500-1550 period being the weakest period -
possibly reflecting data quality issues in the different reconstructions.
STUDY NOTES: Reconstruction of winter and early spring (January-April) temperatures
for Stockholm, Sweden, based on documentary evidence of shipping activity.
Documentary sources are used to determine the date when the sailing
season started each year. The sailing season in spring is related to
the ice cover of the Baltic, which is, in turn, closely related to the
annual mean winter air temperature. Dates are transformed into days
after New Year according to the Gregorian calendar for 1500 AD onwards,
and then used to reconstruct Stockholm winter/spring temperatures.
