Is there a global Holocene climate mode?

Abstract

The two main millennial-scale Holocene climate patterns or submodes are also significant at the multidecadal to century-scale level. Large-scale climate patterns and modes are important instruments to characterize prevalent teleconnections and their related processes. Their correlation with forcing factors constitutes an important element of climate diagnostics. The increasing number of data and modeling studies referring to Holocene climate provokes the question whether or not global patterns or modes predominated.
