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]
20 kwi 2021 · While the northern hemisphere, South America, China and Australasia, and even New Zealand, recorded temperatures of 0.3-1.0 °C higher than those of 1960-1990 between the early ninth and late 14th...
Some provide evidence of relatively warm temperatures (most pronounced during the summer months) in several regions, including the North Atlantic, northern Europe, China, and parts of North America, as well as the Andes, Tasmania, and New Zealand.
4 gru 2015 · Climate scientists have cited the Medieval Warm Period to explain anomalies in rainfall and temperature in far-flung regions, from the U.S. Southwest to China. The study appears today in the journal Science Advances.
9 maj 2024 · While the Medieval Warm Period saw unusually warm temperatures in some regions, globally the planet was cooler than current conditions.
In this review a number of lines of evidence are considered, (including climatesensitive tree rings, documentary sources, and montane glaciers) in order to evaluate whether it is reasonable to conclude that climate in medieval times was, indeed, warmer than the climate of more recent times.
The Medieval Warm Period (MWP) was also called the “Early Medieval Warm Epoch” (Lamb, 1977, 1982) and the “Neo-Atlantic” by some palynologists. The expression “Little Climatic Optimum” (LCO) has sometimes been employed to contrast it with the dramatic warming of the “Atlantic” phase of the late Mesolithic to Neolithic ages ...
