This study aims to investigate the possible historical correlation between sea ice reduction in the Arctic and cold winters in Central Europe. The study is conducted over a cold period in Europe known as the Little Ice Age (LIA), 1400–1850, and uses a Global Climate Model with eight different forcin...
