Zusammenfassung |
In this work the onset of the "Little
Ice Age" period in Andalusia (southern Spain) is analysed from documentary
data, focusing attention on the evolution of the climate during the 16th and
17th centuries. It is shown that changes in the rainfall regime have been more
important than those in the temperature in studying the Andalusian climate
change. Analysis of the total annual precipitation is carried out by codifying
the documentary data and establishing an ordinal index. Several statistical
methods are used to detect and characterize climate changes in the region. The
results suggest a fluctuating evolution, without trends or abrupt changes, with
a prevailing wet period from 1550 to 1650 AD. Cycles of ~17, 3.5 and 2.1 years
are detected. Some possible causal mechanisms are suggested. |
