Description
August surface temperatures of the eastern Norwegian Sea's Voring Plateau (66.97°N, 7.64°E) were derived from planktic stable isotopes and foraminiferal assemblage concentrations.  The Medieval Warm Period occurred between AD 1200 and 1500 and was as much as 3.3°C warmer than the Current Warm Period.
