Locations of proxy records with data back to AD 1000, 1500 and 1750 (instrumental: red thermometers; tree
ring: brown triangles; borehole:
black circles; ice core / ice borehole: blue stars; other including low - resolution records: purple
squares) that have been used to reconstruct NH or SH temperatures by studies shown in Figure 6.10 (see Table 6.1, excluding O2005) or used to indicate SH regional temperatures (Figure 6.12).
