“…Glaser et al 1999; from various European areas are used in what is termed a ''reverse specification'' (Klein and Dai 1998) to statistically reconstruct the 500 hPa geopotential height fields. A principal component regression analysis is used to derive the statistical relationships between the climate information (predictors) and the NCEPreanalysis data (Kalnay et al 1996;Kistler et al 2001) during the calibration period 1948-1990.…”

“…These researchers studied areas located to the south of our study area, and they utilised annual cereal production data and information conserved in the cathedral of Toledo concerning rogation ceremonies. Among publications related to the 16th century in Europe, those of Glaser et al (1999) report fluctuations in temperature and precipitation, while those of Brázdil et al (1999) concern flooding events. Global overviews of the methodology and interpretation of historical climatology during past centuries in Europe can be found in individual works (Pfister, 1984;Pfister and Brazdil, 1999;Glaser, 2001Glaser, , 2008 and in collective works (Garcia-Herrera et al, 2005;Brázdil et al, 2006;Glaser et al, 2010;.…”

Abstract. This study presents the results of a historic reconstruction based upon documentary sources of precipitation and floods during the last fifty years of the 16th century in Central Spain. We used data from primary sources contemporary to the events rather than compilations or secondary references. These documents belong to the institutions that administered the study area during the time period of interest and consist of municipal or monastic minute books and administrative texts from properties belonging to the nobility and royal family. Direct data that explicitly describe meteorological or flood-related events are haphazardly distributed throughout personal correspondence and various reports, and the sizes of floods or precipitation events can also be deduced from indirect data. We analysed the qualitative data by transforming them into numerical indices of intensity/duration for precipitation and intensity/area for floods. We differentiated three sets of years that presented different hydrological patterns. The first period, from 1554 to 1575, exhibited regular precipitation patterns associated with low-intensity floods. The second, from 1576 to 1584, was characterised by low precipitation levels and few floods. The third, from 1585 to 1599, showed intense precipitation with large floods interspersed with long-lasting droughts. We interpret these results in the context of the environmental and land-use patterns of the time period studied, which coincided with a period of low temperatures.

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.*
