This relation is used to estimate the temperature in Iceland in the period 1591—1846. Furthermore, the temperature and ice incidence in the years 1591—1969 (estimated and measured) are found to ve correlated with the frequency of severe years, defined in a special manner. This makes it possible to estimate the temperture and ice incidence in the period 930-1591 A.D. The graphs of temperature and ice seem to be in good accordance with the results of analysis of O18 in glacier ice core at Camp Century, Greenland. #---------------------- # Science Keywords: PAGES 2k Network, PAGES Arctic 2k, Arctic 2k, temperature, decadal resolution #-------------------- # Site Name # Region: North Atlantic # Country: Iceland # Northmost Latitude: 64.7741 # Southmost Latitude: 64.7741 # Eastmost Longitute: -18.3691 # Westmost Longitute: -18.3691 # Elevation: #------------------ # Data Collection # Core Name: # First Year: 945 # Last Year: 1935 # Time Unit: AD #------------------ # Searchable Controlled Keywords # >historical>document #---------------- # Variables # age_AD Age (years AD) # temp Temperature (C) # age_AD temp 1935 4.36052 1905 3.28887 1875 2.94755 1845 3.34403 1815 3.09126 1785 2.99343 1755 2.92643 1725 3.30548 1695 3.06462 1665 3.40905 1635 3.11281 1605 3.0841 1575 3.30505 1545 3.25014 1515 3.31698 1485 3.31741 1365 3.31042 1335 3.24927 1305 3.18333 1275 3.05731 1245 3.30998 1215 3.25714 1185 3.43729 1155 4.28395 1125 4.70907 1095 4.27927 1065 3.45829 1035 3.73517 1005 4.05258 975 3.32854 945 4.0258
