Description
The authors analyzed chrysophyte cyst data collected from a sediment core obtained from Lake Redon (42.64°N, 0.77°E) in the Central and Eastern Pyrenees of northeast Spain, producing a history of winter/spring temperatures for this region throughout the Holocene. The Medieval Warm Period (~ AD 875 to 1000) was categorized as the "warmest period" of the record, with temperatures about 0.25°C warmer than it is currently.
