Glacier fluctuations during the past 2000 years

Number of glacial advances, temperature reconstruction and climatic forcings. (A) Total solar irradiance anomalies (Steinhilber et al., 2009). (B) Reconstructed global volcanic aerosol forcing from sulfate composite records from tropical (bipolar) eruptions (Sigl et al., 2015). (C) Multi-proxy temperature reconstruction of the Northern Hemisphere (CE 1-1979 (red) with its 80-yr component (blue) and the instrumental record (green) (Moberg et al., 2005). (D) Number of glacial advances normalized and inverted (averaged for the high and mid latitudes of the Northern and Southern hemispheres and from the tropics, cumulative curves).153
