Modes of climate variability and regional climate extremes over the last 2000 years. I am still working on the text. However, I have included at the end of the text a Figure from D’Arrigo et al (2005) paper on ENSO variability over the past six centuries, GRL 32. Please take a look to the figure. It summarizes much of our present knowledge of ENSO variability from proxies and models in the past centuries. If we have room for one more figure in the Chapter, I would ask Rosanne to send me the data to generate a new version of this figure.
