Little Ice Age

The Little Ice Age ( LIA ) was a period of cooling that occurred after the Medieval Warm Period . [1] Although it was not a true ice age , the term was introduced into scientific literature by François E. Matthes in 1939. [2] It has been conventionally defined as a period extending from the 16th to the 19th centuries, [3] [4] [5] but some experts prefer an alternative timespan from about 1300 [6] to about 1850. [7] [8] [9] Climatologists and historians working with local records no longer expect to agree on either the start or end dates of the period, which varied according to local conditions.

The Little Ice Age (LIA) was a period of cooling that occurred after the Medieval Warm Period (Medieval Climate Optimum). [1] While it was not a true ice age , the term was introduced into the scientific literature by François E. Matthes in 1939. [2] It has been conventionally defined as a period extending from the sixteenth to the nineteenth centuries, [3] [4] [5] or alternatively, from about 1300 [6] to about 1850, [7] [8] [9] although climatologists and historians working with local records no longer expect to agree on either the start or end dates of this period, which varied according to local conditions. The NASA Earth Observatory notes three particularly cold intervals: one beginning about 1650, another about 1770, and the last in 1850, each separated by intervals of slight warming. [5] The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Third Assessment Report considered the timing and areas affected by the LIA suggested largely independent regional climate changes, rather than a globally synchronous increased glaciation. At most there was modest cooling of the Northern Hemisphere during the period. [10]

The Little Ice Age (LIA) was a period of cooling lasting approximately from the 14th to the mid- 19th centuries, although there is no generally agreed start or end date: some confine the period to 1550-1850. This cooler period occurs after a warmer era known as the Medieval climate optimum . There were three minima, beginning about 1650 , about 1770 , and 1850 , each separated by slight warming intervals [1] .
