Extending North Atlantic oscillation reconstructions back to 1500

Abstract Monthly (1659–1995) and seasonal (1500–1658) North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) indices were estimated using instrumental and documentary proxy predictors from Eurasia. Uncertainty estimates were calculated for the reconstructions, and the variability of the 500‐year winter NAO has been asses...

Description
Summary:Abstract Monthly (1659–1995) and seasonal (1500–1658) North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) indices were estimated using instrumental and documentary proxy predictors from Eurasia. Uncertainty estimates were calculated for the reconstructions, and the variability of the 500‐year winter NAO has been assessed. The late twentieth century NAO extremes are within the range of variability during earlier centuries. Copyright © 2003 Royal Meteorological Society.
