The role of forcing and internal dynamics in explaining the “Medieval Climate Anomaly” (2011, positive): “The mean of the ensemble of simulations also agrees well with proxy surface temperature reconstructions (Mann et al. 2009) of the past six centuries, but it fails to capture the warmer conditions of the earlier MCA interval (Fig.”
Understanding Cultural Persistence and Change (2017, positive): “While the Mann et al. (2009a) data have global coverage, it has the shortcoming of early observations being derived from proxy data, like ice cores, coral, sediment, and tree rings, rather than from direct observation from weather stations.”
SOLAR INFLUENCES ON CLIMATE (2010, positive): “Similar, but oppositely signed, changes are likely to have taken place during the medieval period of comparatively enhanced irradiance [Mann et al., 2009; Trouet et al., 2009].”
A Review of the Role of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation in Atlantic Multidecadal Variability and Associated Climate Impacts (2019, neutral): “The Mann et al. (2009) AMV reconstruction has a reduced amplitude during the seventeenth to eighteenth centuries, but the amplitude increases again during the fifteenth to sixteenth centuries (Moore et al., 2017).”
Biotic and Abiotic Factors Associated with Colonies Mortalities of Managed Honey Bee (Apis mellifera) (2019, neutral): “It was followed by a global warming between the 10th and the 14th centuries, and consequently a new cold period, known as the “Little Ice Age”, which continued until the mid 19th century [58,59].”
Centennial-scale climate change from decadally-paced explosive volcanism: a coupled sea ice-ocean mechanism (2011, positive): “…and waned through the Neoglacial, reflecting a strong overprint on the primary insolation driver by some combination of solar irradiance changes, explosive volcanism, and unforced variability (Crowley 2000; Shindell et al. 2003, 2004; Kaufman et al. 2009; Mann et al. 2009; Miller et al. 2010).”
Change Points and Temporal Dependence in Reconstructions of Annual Temperature: Did Europe Experience a Little Ice Age? (2014, neutral): “…the tropics experienced several centuries of reduced mean summer temperatures, although there is some variation over dates, with Mann (2002) suggesting the period between the fifteenth and nineteenth centuries, Matthews and Briffa (2005) 1570–1900, and Mann et al. (2009) between 1400 and 1700.”
Applications of proxy system modeling in high resolution paleoclimatology (2012, positive): “Realistic proxy systemmodels may thus help identify and potentially recover reconstructed amplitudes and uncertainties that fall outside of validation ranges (Anchukaitis et al., 2012; Feng et al., 2012; Gagan et al., 2012; Mann et al., 2012).”
Resilience of Alaska's Boreal Forest to Climatic Change (2010, neutral): “This boreal system has persisted relatively unchanged, within the detection capabilities of paleoecological indicators, for the past 6000 years, despite substantial climatic fluctuations such as the Medieval Warm Period and Little Ice Age (Mann et al. 2009).”
Climate and carbon-cycle variability over the last millennium (2010, positive): “Mann et al. (2009) compare two general circulation model simulations, one of them including a well-resolved stratosphere and the effects of ozone photochemistry (based on the model of Shindell et al., 2001).”
