Current spatial coverage, temporal resolution and age control of
available Holocene
proxy data limit the ability to determine if there were multi-decadal periods of global warmth comparable to the last half of 20th century.
In summary, the share of students who received a Pell Grant is a widely used
proxy for low - income students because grants are awarded mainly to those students;
data on how many students at each institution of higher education receive a Pell Grant is readily
available; and finally,
data on student incomes at each institution of higher education has only recently become
available and does not cover all students at each institution.
It then illustrates some of the limitations of the Pell

available.

data services providers to seek to ensure that representations of intraday bids, offers and execution prices of NextShares that are made
available to the investing public consistently follow the NAV - based format, rather than

I have not gone into this in my article because (a) this
data is not
available in the NIPAs, and (b) my rough sense (having looked at the S&P 500 as a
proxy) is that it's not having nearly as big an impact as the lower tax rates.
When differences in scaling between previous studies are accounted for, the various current and previous estimates of NH mean surface temperature are largely consistent within uncertainties, despite the differences in methodology and mix of
proxy data back to approximately A.D. 1000... Conclusions are less definitive for the SH and globe, which we attribute to larger uncertainties arising from the sparser
available proxy data in the SH.
The actual prevailing view of the paleoclimate research community that emerged during the early 1990s, when long - term
proxy data became more widely
available and it was possible to synthesize them into estimates of large - scale temperature changes in past centuries, was that the average temperature over the Northern Hemisphere varied by significantly less than 1 degree C in previous centuries (i.e., the variations in past centuries were small compared to the observed 20th century warming).
Thus, not only the centroids but also the distribution widths are
available in the model outputs, for instance on seasonal or monthly basis, which makes for interesting comparisons with
data (instrumental or from
proxy records).
Reconstructing ancient carbon cycles is really hard to do and once again climate models using the best
available proxy data are our best bet.
By their nature, studies of aspects of the past which can no longer be directly measured but which may be partially revealed by various
proxies will never have complete reliability, but they ARE being properly and rigorously pursued by long tested scientific methods of working with any
available empirical
data that might help improve the picture.

Some of those may have overlapped with the
proxies used by Moberg (2005), but M05 is one of several dozen NH reconstructions drawn up in the last 15 years, so it's highly likely didn't limit themselves to the
data from MO5, which is much older and less extensive than the evidence
available from the last decade.
A team of researchers, led by Leonid Polyak of Ohio State University's Byrd Polar Research Center, has culled the
available evidence from hundreds of studies of
proxy data for sea ice extent.
It would certainly make an interesting study to determine the fractal dimension of your saw and then «zoom out» to the next level and re-apply your method — it seems to me that this may even provide a better fit to the
available data (inc long term
proxies) than the single level you have already calculated — certainly the change in the projections would be most interesting!
What I don't understand is how they thought this would not be caught out when Science demanded the
data file for the SI, the thesis is publicly
available for comparison, and many of these
proxies are publicly archived for independent scrutiny.
Some later
proxy data was
available, but was omitted.
The RegEm algorithm of [Tapio Schneider] was used to estimate missing values for
proxy series terminating before the 1995 calibration internval endpoint, based on their mutual covariance with the other
available proxy data over the full 1850 - 1995 calibration interval.
In such case for proper scientific analysis it is better to rely on good quality
data where
available and
proxy data for historical reconstructions — like for instance satellite
data & ice core
data.
PCA was also performed on certain
proxy sub-networks (spatially dense regional networks of tree - ring
data available separately in different continents) as means of dimensional reduction of the predictor network.
Instrumental climate records aren't
available for dates before the mid-19th century so scientists must turn to
data from «
proxies» such as tree - rings, corals, and ice cores.
Then we use
available long - term
proxies of the solar activity, which are 10Be isotope concentrations in ice cores and 22 - year smoothed neutron monitor
data, to interpolate between the present quiet Sun and the minimum state of the quiet Sun.
That's why
proxies are so valuable, because they provide the extra
data that's required to understand what the rest of the Northern Hemisphere (and ultimately the globe once more
proxies are
available in the Southern Hemisphere) was doing over that period.
In addition, observational records are
available for surface temperature (space - based monitoring, in situ monitoring, and
proxy data) and the radiation balance at the top of the atmosphere.
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.
The temperature
proxy data from the MBH98 and MBH99
data were drawn from relatively few samples; to the best of my knowledge there was no «regional
data»
available from which to make such adjustments.
Most studies seek to «validate» a reconstruction by showing that it independently reproduces instrumental estimates (e.g. early temperature
data available during the 18th and 19th century) that were not used to «calibrate» the
proxy data.
Why does the individual auditor have to send a request to each of the
proxy owners and request
data when it is already compiled and
available?
Gergis et al must have bitter regrets concerning this because the Law Dome
data that is
available make it clear that, as a
proxy dataset for Southern Hemisphere temperature trends, the Law Dome
data is superior to others.
Explore the mechanisms associated with AMOC variability on centennial - to - millennial timescales, and evaluate the realism of GCMs on these timescales relative to
available paleo
proxy data, perhaps using
proxy - enabled coupled climate models.
There are various other records
available relating to the 1500's and 1600's from a study entitled «Evidence for the climate during the Late Maunder Minimum from
proxy data and model simulations
available within KIHZ» (24)
The RegEM algorithm of Schneider (9) was used to estimate missing values for
proxy series terminating before the 1995 calibration interval endpoint, based on their mutual covariance with the other
available proxy data over the full 1850 — 1995 calibration interval.
Thomas Hearing said: «We hope that this approach can be used by other researchers to build up a clearer picture of ancient climates where conventional climate
proxy data are not
available.»
Currently
available proxy data are equivocal concerning a possible increase in the intensity of the meridional overturning cell for either transient or equilibrium climate states during the Pliocene, although an increase would contrast with the North Atlantic transient deep - water production decreases that are found in most coupled model simulations for the 21st century (see Chapter 10).
In this study, we compiled all the
available published
data from several different types of
proxy to produce a continuous record of ancient CO2 levels.»
