Description
Winter temperatures were inferred from analyses of varve thickness, relative X-ray density, pollen and diatom profiles and organic matter loss-on-ignition data obtained from annually-laminated sediments of Lake Korttajarvi (62°20'N, 25°41'E) in central Finland. The Medieval Warm Period occurred between AD 980 and 1250 and was as much as 2°C warmer than the Current Warm Period.
