Fig. 4a. Top: Mean reconstructed temperature tields for the coldest (1891) and the warmcsl ( 1772)
winter (D1F) over the larger Mediterranean area. Middle: Seasonal temperature difference patterns
ofthe extreme winters (Winter minus long-term seasonal temperature mean of 1901-1995). Bottom:
Model performance (RE) for the anomalous winter temperature reconstructions. For areas with RE
> 0 meaningful reconstructions can be expected.
