Week 3 - Northern Hemisphere Temperature reconstructions - Parts I-III
Large scale northern hemisphere reconstructions of past temperature variation are important to compare to model output. There are many versions - here are just a few I talk about in the lecture. Their generation (data, methods etc) are highly contentious and are often attacked by climate sceptics.Lots of papers I know - go through lecture, read abstracts, introductions and conclusions for most papers. This should give you the basics.
National Research Council of the US National Academy of Sciences (2006):
Surface temperature reconstructions for the last 2000 years. National Academies Press
http://www.st-andrews.ac.uk/~rjsw/PalaeoPDFs/NRCreport2006.pdf
A relatively nice critical review. Not as complete as IPCC report but more readable - a little out of date now but still relevant for concepts.
This is a pre-publication version. The main conclusions are still relevant.
