Spring temperature variability in northern Fennoscandia AD 1693-2011.

  <Summary>
    <Abstract>A reconstruction of spring (April-May) temperature for northern 
Fennoscandia developed from the Tornionjoki (Tornio river) long 
cryophenological record of ice break-up dates, back to AD 1693, 
is presented. The record is strongly climatically sensitive 
and explains 67% of the variance in the instrumental data over 
the last 150 years. The record exhibits a stepped decrease in 
the duration of the river&apos;s ice cover by 14 days, equivalent to 
an increase in April-May mean temperature of approximately 2.5°C 
over the last three centuries. The relationship between the date 
of ice break-up, and accumulated daily mean temperatures (&gt;0°C) 
is investigated. Uncertainty in the observation of ice break-up 
is also considered in addition to the potential of this time 
series for regional climate model validation. 
 
          STUDY NOTES: Reconstruction of spring (April-May) mean air temperature 
for northern Fennoscandia based on the Tornionjoki (Tornio river) 
cryophenological record of ice break-up dates (Kajander 1993, 1995).
