Pfister 6.1 from weather accounts to climate history The growing consciousness that the world is undergoing a period of significant warming has triggercd a wave of research activity into past climates. Within this context observations in historical sources arc arl essential ingredient of any study dealing with the reconstruction of climate in the period between the Middle Ages and the beginning of instrumental network observations in the 19th century . Proxy data from natural archives cover periods up to hundreds of thousands of years. However, their time resolution is restricted to individual years or to periods of several months in the best casco Moreover they respond to a variety of meteorological variables making it difficult to disentangle the climatic information . Documentary material from anthropogenic archives, that is highly specific with regard to time, place and meteorological parameter, covers a period of roughly seven hundred years. This provides a safer basis for assessing the natu ral va riability of climate than the shorter instrumental period. In particular this holds for the interpretation of exceptional events, such as the very mild winter 1989-90 in Central Europe (Pfister 1990). Seasona I a nd mont h IY esti mates of te m pe ra tu re and p reci pi ta t ion for t he pre-ins t rumen t a I period are qbtained from the interpretation of documentary matcrial. They provide a broad basis for calibrating natural proxy information and a new testing ground for climatic models, that need still to be much improved regarding regional and seasonal scenarios. Assessing and modelling impacts of past climates upon past societies requires a very detailed record of past changes which is in fact a history of weather. Among agrarian scientists and demographic historians therc is agreement on thc point tlwt monthly tempera- ture and precipitation data are needed in order to quantify the innucnce of meteorological factors upon yield formation and upon diseases in a meaningful way. (Hanus and Aimiller 1978; Georgelin 1979). This holds also for the climatic interpretation· of demographic pat- teflls (Flinn 1981:10Q). The types of data used for the reconstruction of past climates have been described in great dctailby Lamb (1981).

Transforming Water Recovery

The Klein Porto-Tower® (KPT) — the original portable, completely self-contained water storage tower — delivers efficient, cost-effective water recovery to water distribution equipment. With a discharge rate of up to 7,500 gallons per minute, the KPT dramatically increases productivity on the job and has saved contractors around the world literally millions of dollars.

Invented and patented (U.S. patent #3,106,171) by Klein Products in 1965, the KPT revolutionized water distribution. Today, it remains the industry’s leading portable water storage tower and is considered a prerequisite for any job where dust or soil compaction is a factor.

• Capacity of up to 12,000 gallons of water

• Fills water distribution equipment at a rapid rate of up to 7,500 gallons per minute

• Can be set up by one person in less than 10 minutes

• Completely self-contained and portable

• Stable and durable for optimal performance in even the most challenging environments

• Highway legal and simple to tow as a conventional trailer

The Klein Products factory has received its certificate of registration declaring organization system of quality management is in conformance with ISO 9001:2015
