The Medieval Warm Period (MWP), also known as the Medieval Climate Optimum or the Medieval Climatic Anomaly, was a time of warm climate in the North Atlantic region that lasted from c. 950 to c. 1250. [2]
Medieval warm period (MWP), brief climatic interval that is hypothesized to have occurred from approximately 900 ce to 1300 (roughly coinciding with the Middle Ages in Europe), in which relatively warm conditions are said to have prevailed in various parts of the world, though predominantly in the.
20 kwi 2021 · Despite being predominantly recorded in Europe, south-western North America and in some tropical regions, the Medieval warm period affected both the northern and southern hemispheres.
18 lip 2018 · The Middle Ages can be divided into three climatic phases: (1) the period c. 500–1000, before the Medieval Warm Period (MWP); (2) the MWP, lasting c.1000–1300; and (3) the transition period between the MWP and the LIA, c. 1300–1500. Note, however, that the temporal boundaries of the MWP and LIA should not be regarded as fixed, and they ...
It is now clear that climate in medieval times had much more interesting and informative characteristics than simply being warmer or colder than some reference period. Substantial evidence exists for elevated frequency, spatial extent, and persistence of severe droughts over large parts of the global midlatitudes in medieval times compared to ...
The Medieval Warm Period, also known as the Medieval Climate Anomaly, refers to a historical period between 800 and 1250 CE characterized by warmer and drier conditions globally. It was a significant warm episode during the Holocene prior to the industrial era, with temperatures comparable to or even warmer than the mid-20th century.
These newer results have cast light on interregional differences re-vealed by proxy climate and the variability of climate forcing factors such as explosive volcanic eruptions, solar variability, changes in land use, and greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere.
