| Zusammenfassung |
| Paintings created by famous artists, representing sunsets throughout the
period 1500–1900, provide proxy information on the aerosol optical depth
following major volcanic eruptions. This is supported by a statistically
significant correlation coefficient (0.8) between the measured red-to-green
ratios of a few hundred paintings and the dust veil index. A radiative
transfer model was used to compile an independent time series of aerosol
optical depth at 550 nm corresponding to Northern Hemisphere middle latitudes
during the period 1500–1900. The estimated aerosol optical depths range from
0.05 for background aerosol conditions, to about 0.6 following the Tambora
and Krakatau eruptions and cover a period practically outside of the
instrumentation era. |
