A thousand-year record of temperature variations for Germany 
and Central Europe based on documentary data. 
Journal of Quaternary Science, Vol. 24, pp. 437-449. ISSN 0267-8179. 
DOI: 10.1002/jqs.1302</Reference>
  <Summary>
    <Abstract>This paper presents a temperature reconstruction of the past 
1000 years for Central Europe, based on chronological records. 
The advantages and limitations of this hermeneutic, text-based 
approach are discussed and the statistic methodology is introduced. 
Historical documents represent direct observation of weather 
and atmospheric conditions with highest temporal resolution 
available and precise dating.  A major advantage of these 
extensive data is that they allow the reconstruction of large 
numbers of variables such as winter temperature, precipitation, 
pressure patterns or climate extremes as well as floods or storms. 
Within this hermeneutic climatological research approach, 
even human impacts and social dimensions of climate development 
can be examined. In order to quantify the historical information, 
statistical methods are applied, based on an index approach. 
 
          STUDY NOTES: Temperature indices and reconstruction for Germany and Central 
Europe over the past 1000 years, based on documentary data. 
Three time series are presented: seasonally resolved indices 
for 1000-1500 A.D., monthly resolved indices for 1500-2006 A.D., 
and 11-year smoothed temperature reconstruction for 1000-2000 A.D. 

Large parts of the underlying historical data on which the 
reconstruction is based can be accessed at HISKLID (Historische 
Klimadatenbank Deutschland - Historical Climate Database Germany), 
database of climate and environment related information from 
documentary sources for Central Europe: www.hisklid.de
