Although the most recent 25-year period is warmer than any comparable period over the past 1090 years,it is not yet statisticallyunprecedented. Some evidencefor the Medieval Warm Period and the 'Little Ice Age' can be found in the reconstruction, especiallyduring the twelfth and seventeenth centuries respectively.However, the latter is weakly expressedcompared to many records from the northern hemisphere,suggesting that the southernoceans may havesignificantly moderated its effect on Tasmania.Regular oscillationson the order of 30, 56, 80 and 180years in length have been identified in A the reconstructionusing spectralanalysis. These oscillationscannot be easilylinked to climatic forcing HOLOCENE functions related to solar or volcanic activity. Thus, they are best regardedas arisingfrom the internal RESEARCH PAPER dynamicsof the ocean-atmosphere-cryospheresystem.
