Stockholm winter/spring 500-year temperature reconstruction
Lotta Leijonhufvud, Rob J. S. Wilson, Anders Moberg, Johan Söderberg, Dag Retsö, Ulrica Söderlind
Historical documentary sources, reflecting different port activities in Stockholm, are used along with the instrumental temperature record to derive a January-April mean temperature reconstruction back to 1502. The documentary sources provide information on when the sailing activities began in each spring and thereby also reflect when the waters became ice-free after each winter. These dates correlate strongly with observed winter/spring temperatures.
