Overview

Analysis reveals colder climate conditions in 16th century Poland, indicating significant changes over time.

Key Points

  • The study aims to reconstruct the climate of Poland in the 16th century using multiproxy data sources.
  • Utilized previous and new quantitative reconstructions incorporating dendrochronological data and documentary evidence.
  • Reconstructed mean winter and summer temperatures using dendrochronological data and historical documents.
  • Analyzed temperature anomalies and continentality of 16th-century climate compared to modern temperatures.
  • Mean winter temperatures in the 16th century were reconstructed to be 3.6 °C colder than today (1991-2020).
  • Summer temperatures were found to be 0.7 °C cooler than today but 0.3 °C warmer compared to the entire 20th century average.
  • Cooling was particularly noted in the winter half-year at the end of the 16th century.
