Snow events are not a rare episode in Mediterranean area, especially northern and hilly areas of Italy. However, snowfall occurring quasi-simultaneously the whole peninsula is extraordinary. This study collects, reconstructs, analyzes extraordinary episodes that occurred simultaneously Italian since 1709. longest time series central area. The data, obtained by several documentary sources (from ancient archival to online databases), have been analyzed using different statistical tests, order...
The paper reconstructs when the Lagoon of Venice, Italy, was frozen over in last 1400 years. combines various proxies and instrumental readings, i.e.: written documentary sources since origin Venice; evidence from visual arts referring to 1709, 1789 1791 as well some pictures taken 1929 2012; finally, observations 1716. A critical revision has been made all order reject duplications or exaggerations introduced by late compilations. To this aim dating styles, social historical context city...
In northern Italy, and especially in the Po Valley, instability phenomena such as hail thunder storms are mainly associated with penetration of Atlantic disturbances, cold fronts, or pre-frontal squall lines mid-seasons, thermal convection hot moist air summer. Changes their seasonal distribution may be considered an index anomalies synoptic pressure pattern, which determines general circulation over Europe. Two different types meteorological data have been analysed: (1) historical,...
The past climate reconstruction is of major relevance in order to produce the best model projections possible. study proxy data contained ancient documents one most valuable tools available reach this goal. In regions where written history had an early and widespread diffusion, it provides precious long series information, particularly useful for periods prior eighteenth–nineteenth century, when instrumental records did not yet exist. sources are different typology, depending on historical...
<p>In the 1500s-1510s an unusually high number of significant droughts in Central and Western, partly Southern Europe; years 1502-1504, 1506-1507, 1513-1514 1516-1518 were dry particularly Western Europe. Droughts, interspersed with wet marked even by floods other weather-related extremes, frequent hard winters mainly responsible for reduced or poor crop hay harvests multiple years. These circumstances, combination socio-economic factors, contributed to increased social tension...
