Results for all methods were compared by using both a «frozen» network (7 — 9, 13) consisting only of proxies available back to at least A.D. 1000 and a «stepwise» approach (15, 16) that makes use of the increasing numbers of proxy data that become available as time progresses.

This analysis also shows how the Pell Grant proxy could be more accurate than data on student and family incomes for measuring the number of low - income students in institutions of higher education.

c now determine suggested number of EOFs in training c based on rule N applied to the proxy data alone c during the interval t > iproxmin (the minimum c year by which each proxy is required to have started, c note that default is iproxmin = 1820 if variable c proxy network is allowed (latest begin date c in network) c c we seek the n first eigenvectors whose eigenvalues c exceed 1 / nproxy» c c nproxy» is the effective climatic spatial degrees of freedom c spanned by the proxy network (typically an appropriate c estimate is 20 - 40)

[Response: At the time (late 1990s), most of the data in the archives had been collected in the 1980s or even earlier, and so the number of proxies decreased rapidly after 1980.

The reconstruction all the way back to the year 1400 used 22 proxy data series, although some of the 22 were combinations of larger numbers of proxy series by a method known as «principal components analysis» (hereafter called «PCA» — see here).

The IPCC range, on the other hand, encompasses the overall uncertainty across a very large number of studies, using different methods all with their own potential biases and problems (e.g., resulting from biases in proxy data used as constraints on past temperature changes, etc.) There is a number of single studies on climate sensitivity that have statistical uncertainties as small as Cox et al., yet different best estimates — some higher than the classic 3 °C, some lower.

For each comment comes a reply, and in the M&M responses, they introduce a number of further complications and focus on the quality of some of the proxies that were input data into the MBH methodology.

Since then, a number of new proxies and seafloor coring and drilling projects have produced a wealth of additional data.

Since 1999, there have been many independent reconstructions of past temperatures, using a variety of proxy data and a number of different methodologies.

These data were compiled from a number of different regions and proxies.

Mann includes at this site a large number of temperature proxy data series.

All 73 of their proxies cover the time span 5500 to 4500 BP (calendar years -3550 to -2550), but as time marches forward the number of proxies which still have data dwindles, especially toward the end of the reconstruction (1940) by which time only 18 proxies remain.

First of all, it should be noted that PCA was used in data pre-processing to reduce large sub-networks of tree - ring proxies to a manageable number of representative principal components, which were then combined with other proxies in the final reconstruction.

There are a number of different types of proxy data types in this group including glacial deposits, glacial erosional features, shoreline features, aeolian deposits, lake sediments, relict soil deposits, and speleothems (depositional features like stalactites and stalagmites).

What is missing in all this is whether the higher order PC's that would have been derived from the red noise proxies, and included in the full PCA, would have eliminated the hockey stick shape in the full representation of the data, using the correct number of PC's.

My concern about the Marcott et al paper is that the use of a relatively small number of paleo proxies (each capable of only providing localised information) implies that any inference for global trends is based on very low resolution data, both spatially and temporally.

Such proxy material as tree rings can not be as accurate as instrumental records or detailed reconstructions using a variety of observational material - but there are nevertheless a number of obvious consequences that those who debate climate as either «realists» or «sceptics» need to face when considering this data;

The relationship between proxies and temperature is weak and the number of proxies is far larger than the number of target data points.»

Both casual relationships are operative at all times: In the 19th and 20th centuries, the temperature - driving CO2 causal relationship amplified the original temperature effect, as one of several factors leading to a net positive feedback on temperature due to CO2 increase, and a climate sensitivity of about 3C for a doubling of CO2 — a number verified multiple times by calculation from proxy data from multiple epochs in Earths prehistoric past.

In fact, if the number of proxies equals the number of data points, RE2 will be 1.

(Given the large number of sites that have been rejected as temperature proxies, I'd guess that the correlation test was done on detrended data.)

A similar problem occurs in the data base of Loehle and McCulloch 2008: Most of the last 2000 years is represented by 18 proxies, but this number falls off on both ends.

Climate change on earth is unlikely to come anywhere near either end of that silly continuum, but proxy data already demonstrate a number of absolutist dynamic trends.
