We present a multi-archive, multi-proxy summer temperature reconstruction for the European Alps covering the period AD 1053-1996 using tree-ring and lake sediment data. The new reconstruction is based on nine different calibration approaches and errors were estimated conservatively. Summer temperatures of the last millennium are characterised by two warm (AD 1053-1171 and 1823-1996) and two cold phases (AD 1172-1379 and 1573-1822). Highest pre-industrial summer temperatures of the 12th century were 0.3°C warmer than the 20th century mean but 0.35°C colder than proxy derived temperatures at the end of the 20th century. The lowest temperatures at the end of the 16th century were ~1°C lower than the 20th century mean. STUDY NOTES: Multiproxy summer temperature reconstructions for the European Alps covering AD 1053-1996, based on tree-ring and lake sediment data. Eight treering and lake sediment based proxies, from four different locations in the Greater Alpine Region, were utilized in the reconstructions. Nine different calibration approaches were used to reconstruct summer temperatures. The calibration period is 1760-1996, on JJA mean temperatures averaged over the region 43-49°N and 4-19°E, using gridded temperature data. Greater Alpine Region: ~43-49°N, ~4-19°E Table 1 Proxies used in this study. 1 Late-wood density Lötschental (Switzerland) Büntgen et al., 2006 755-2004 Larix decidua All 2 Late-wood density Tyrol (Austria) Esper et al., 2007 1053-2003 Picea abies All 3 Tree-ring width Tyrol (Austria) Büntgen et al., 2005 848-1997 Pinus cembra All 4 Tree-ring width Alpine Arc Büntgen et al., 2009 951-2004 Larix decidua All 5 Tree-ring width Dachstein (Austria) Friedrich unpubl. 900-1996 Larix decidua All 6 Blue Intensity Dachstein (Austria) Friedrich unpubl. 813-1996 Conifer 1-31; 1-11; 11-31; 31-51 7 Chironomids Silvaplana (Switzerland) Larocque-Tobler et al., 2010 1007-2002 11-31; 31-51; >31; >51 8 Biogenic Silica Silvaplana (Switzerland) Blass 2007;Trachsel 2010 1181-1949 11-31; 31-51 Table 3 Numerical methods and error statistics of the nine calibration/reconstruction variants.
