| Research Abstract |
In this study, meteorological records taken during the 19th century in Southeast and East Asian countries(Indonesia, Philippines and Japan) were collected, homogenized and quality controlled. The long term climate data are useful to understand spatial characteristics and variability of climate during the Little Ice Age(LIA) in Southeast and East Asia. As a result, warm episodes were detected in the 1850s and 1860s in East Asia, not obvious in Southeast Asia. This warm period could be regarded as the end of the LIA.
