Proxy inconsistency and other problems in millennial paleoclimate reconstructions.
Mann et al. (1) present two paleoclimate reconstruction methods [‘‘error-in-variables’’ (EIV) and ‘‘composite plus scale’’ (CPS)], claiming statistically significant skill for both. Their figure 3 reveals that from approximately 750 to 1100, the CPS 95% confidence interval excludes the EIV 95% confidence interval and vice versa. This is evidence not of skill, but of inconsistency. Contrary to a...
متن کاملPre-aged plant waxes in tropical lake sediments and their influence on the chronology of molecular paleoclimate proxy records
Sedimentary records of plant-wax hydrogen (dDwax) and carbon (d Cwax) stable isotopes are increasingly applied to infer past climate change. Compound-specific radiocarbon analyses, however, indicate that long time lags can occur between the synthesis of plant waxes and their subsequent deposition in marginal marine sediments. The influence of these time lags on interpretations of plant-wax stab...
متن کاملRangeandnearestneighborquerieson Uncertain Spatiotemporal Data
Uncertain data are abundant in numerous spatiotemporal applications providing location-based services. This chapter will first review these applications and explain why uncertainty is inherent, sometimes even intended, in their underlying data. Then, we will address two classical spatial queries: range search and nearest neighbor retrieval. We will see that the presence of uncertainty requires ...
متن کاملApplication of dynamic programming to the correlation of paleoclimate records
[1] Signal matching is a powerful tool frequently used in paleoclimate research, but it is enormously timeconsuming when performed by hand. Previously proposed automatic correlation techniques require very good initial fits to find the correct alignment of two records. A new technique presented in this paper utilizes dynamic programming to find the globally optimal alignment of two records. Geo...
متن کاملExtracting coherent modes from partially coherent wavefields.
A method for numerically recovering the coherent modes and their occupancies from a known mutual optical intensity function is described. As an example, the technique is applied to previously published experimental data from an x-ray undulator source. The data are found to be described by three coherent modes, and the functional forms and relative occupancies of these modes are recovered.
