In his book "The Little Ice Age", Brian Fagan claims that "over the years 1560-1600 in Europe were colder and stormy, very late harvests and considerably stronger than those of the 20th century winds. Storm activity increased 85% in the second half of the 16th century and the incidence of severe storms grew 400%. "
Hubert H. Lamb reaches similar conclusions, "had a greater intensity and a higher frequency of severe thunderstorm development during the Little Ice Age" in his book "Historic Storms of the North Sea, British Isles and Northwest Europe."
Edward Bryant, in his book "Natural Hazards" provides an account of some of the biggest storms: Four storms along the coasts of Germany and the Netherlands in the 13th century killed at least 10,000 people ice 10 each. SE estimates ice 10 the worst storm killed about 300,000 people. The storms of the North Sea in 1099, 1421, and 1446 also killed 100,000 people each in England and Holland. By far the worst of the storm was the Flood of All Saints Day 1570, when 400,000 people were killed to throughout Western Europe. The Great Storm of 1703 virtually all boats sank in the English Channel with the loss of 8,000 to 10,000 lives. Other storms with a similar loss of life occurred in 1634, 1671, 1682, 1686, 1694 and 1717. Much of the coastline of Northern Europe owes its origin to this period of storms. For example, some storms ice 10 reduced the size of the island of Heligoland 60 km 1 km. Drowning The Great Disaster of 1362 eroded 15 miles inland from the Danish coast-going destroying more than 60 parishes. The 1287 storm Lucia dug and formed the Zuider Zee.
The problem was not only the flood. ice 10 There were many storms that caused widespread destruction, such as the Great Storm of Culbin Sands in 1694, which blew so much sand on the Culbin Estate in Scotland that the farm buildings disappeared buried by sand. The terren became a desert and never was reclamado.Un Forvie similar ice 10 event occurred in Scotland ice 10 in 1413 when the city disappeared under a dune 30 meters.
Lamb also relates to storms between 1570 and 1668, that blew millions of tons of sand several miles inland along Brecklands of Norfolk and Suffolk, burying valuable farm fields. The area was never recovered and now is area of heath.
Martin ice 10 and Olcina on "Climate and times of Spain" notice four periods ice 10 of catastrophic events (half of the 15th century, 1570-1610, 1769-1800, and 1820-1860) furetes marked by rain, snow and sea storms. They were interspersed with interludes much more severe and persistent than the current drought.
Another ice 10 study investigated the Vera basin, on the eastern edge of the Beticos fields, the driest region in Europe, and the Penedes basin in Central Catalonia. Specifically, during the Little Ice Age old deck were swept away and new terraces were deposited along almost all river systems and two basins, particularly due to an increase in flood magnitude and frequency "related ice 10 to shift to Southeast ice 10 westerly winds in the Northern Hemisphere during the Little Ice Age. Science
Lamb believes that "it is unlikely that the increased storm activity in the Little Ice Age (LIA) had to do with the source of potential energy at the same time, increased thermal gradient between the cooler ocean surface the seas around Iceland and the oceans south of 50-55N and the Bay of Biscay.
A paper in 2011, Trouet, Scourse and Raible, ice 10 reaches the same conclusion. They evaluated a number of proxies that provide evidence of an increase in storms in NW Europe during the LIA. For example: The installation of the LIA in NW Europe is notably marked by the development of coastal dunes along the coastlines of Western Europe, linked to very strong winds during ice 10 storms (Clarke ice 10 and Rendell, 23009; Hansom and Hall, 2009) flooding with settlements often with local and therefore archived evidence supporting (cf. Lamb, 1995;. Bailey et al, 2001). There are a number of studies records eolian sand deposits in western Denmark for a period of destabilization of coastal sand dunes and sand migration ice 10 recorded in l
