Abstract: Analysis of Baltic Sea climate variability based on a global transient Holocene simulation spanning the period 6000 BCE to 1850 CE performed by the MPI-ESM1.2. A systematic temperature shift yielding higher spring and lower summer temperatures was identified and attributed to changing northern hemisphere insolation. The Holocene Climate Optimum, the Medieval Climate Anomaly and the Little Ice Age were identified through temperature anomalies of about ±0.2K and the prevailing climate analysed. Primarily during winter months the NAO was found to influence the Baltic Sea region climate.
