"El Niño-Southern Oscillation Variability in the 14th Century" by Jasmine AR Hunter
The centuries prior to the industrial Revolution provide important baseline information for understanding 20th century climate. Yet the El Niño-Southern Oscillation, the largest source of global interannual climate variation, is poorly characterised for this period. Whilst it is known that the Little Ice Age (1400-1750CE) (LIA) was characterised by cooling SSTs, there is still some contention surrounding ENSO behaviour; with some records suggesting greater ENSO variability while others indicate periods of ENSO inactivity. This is largely due to the availability and shortness of records, highl...
