MODEL and TOOLS DEVELOPMENTS MODELING PROXY RECORDS of the MEDIEVAL WARM PERIOD An inverse approach is used to reconstruct the large-scale tropical Pacific SST patterns that are consistent with a network of high-resolution paleoclimate records from the Medieval Warm Period (MWP).

A variety of proxy records indicate temperature and hydrological anomalies during the MWP that are consistent with prolonged “La Nina” conditions in the tropical Pacific (above). Modeling runs with CCM3 support a link between prolonged “La Nina”-like conditions and drought in the western U.S. (below)., AVVISO TOPEX/ERS CalCOFI SSHa Model SSHa Satellite E2 E2 Model SST Anomaly (MODERN-MEDIEVAL) [m] [m] E1 E1 E1 “SSHa” Independent verification Data Assimilation SeaWIFS From Nick Graham with Kim Cobb and Jason Furtado (GaTech), N.
