Zusammenfassung |
This paper studies the winter temperatures of the second part of the
sixteenth century in the central area of the Iberian Peninsula. A large
number of historical documents that are stored in many different Spanish
archives were consulted in order to carry out this research. The data was
first arranged and weighted according to the intensity and significance of
the meteorological phenomena described and, subsequently, these values were
assigned an ordinal index ranging from +4 to −4. The statistical
treatment applied is based on the reconstruction of temperatures equivalent
to this ordinal index, expressed as anomalies of the 1961–1990 period,
belonging to a reference station located at the approximate geographical
center of the area under study. The results show winter thermal conditions
different from current ones that, for the most part, stay below the
reference average and that occurred with a wide range of variability. The
influence that thermal conditions had on the evolution of some environmental
aspects are considered based on the forest exploitation problem information
and on the wine harvest production. |
