Paleoclimatic reconstructions in western Canada from borehole temperature logs: surface air temperature forcing and groundwater flow
Modelling of surface temperature change effect on temperature vs. depth and temperature-depth logs in Western Canada Sedimentary Basin show that SAT (surface air temperature) forcing is the main driving factor for the underground temperature changes diffusing with depth. It supports the validity of the basic hypothesis of borehole temperature paleoclimatology, namely that the ground surface tem...
متن کاملBridging Past and Future Climate Across Paleoclimatic Reconstructions, Observations, and Models: A Hydroclimate Case Study
Potential biases in tree-ring reconstructed Palmer drought severity index (PDSI) are evaluated using Thornthwaite (TH), Penman–Monteith (PM), and self-calibrating Penman–Monteith (SC) PDSI in three diverse regions of theUnited States and tree-ring chronologies from theNorthAmerican drought atlas (NADA).Minimal differences are found between the three PDSI reconstructions and all compare favorabl...
متن کاملTree-Ring Based May-July Temperature Reconstruction Since AD 1630 on the Western Loess Plateau, China
Tree-ring samples from Chinese Pine (Pinus tabulaeformis Carr.) collected at Mt. Shimen on the western Loess Plateau, China, were used to reconstruct the mean May-July temperature during AD 1630-2011. The regression model explained 48% of the adjusted variance in the instrumentally observed mean May-July temperature. The reconstruction revealed significant temperature variations at interannual ...
متن کاملUnderstanding Sensitivities in Paleoclimatic Reconstructions
Recent publications have seen the introduction of a number of new statistical methods for paleoclimatic reconstructions. When applied to archived multiproxy datasets, most of these methods produce reconstructed curves very similar to the “hockey stick” shape that was first observed by Mann, Bradley and Hughes. However, one recent reconstruction, by McShane and Wyner, produced a sharply differen...
متن کاملSpecification and Estimation of the Transfer Function in Paleoclimatic Reconstructions
We identify two issues with a standard time series approach to reconstruction of past climate fluctuations from paleoclimatic data series, one related to specification of the estimated relationship between climate and the paleoclimatic index, the other to the methodology of estimation. We show that the standard approach provides biased estimates of the reconstructed climate series and underesti...
