"Temperature proxies" refers to indirect measurements or data that scientists use to estimate past temperatures. These proxies provide clues about temperature variations over time and help scientists understand climate patterns and changes. They can include things like tree rings, ice cores, lake sediments, or historical records.
Full definition
This article is about tree ring data
as temperature proxies and whether or not those on either or both sides cherry picked data to support a particular position.
The types
of temperature proxy data used from each continental - scale region are illustrated in Figure 2.
Unfortunately, they are not well defined on the ice
core temperature proxies due to resolution difficulties and local latitude differences.
But, if you are interested in learning more
about temperature proxy studies, we provide a much more detailed review and discussion in the paper itself (Provide link!!!).
This lack of consistency between
individual temperature proxies, even in the same area, raises serious questions about the reliability of the global estimates.
Spectrum frequency analyses over the past 12,000 years show centennial scale events on four different Antarctic
temperature proxy records at 193, 318, 379 and 493 years.
High resolution temperature data encompasses a short temporal period, lower resolution
temperature proxy reconstructions are geospatially restricted and can not resolve shorter time periods.
Both charts are correct as general modeled representations of
temperature proxies based on context and quality of modeling; at the time they were done; and the scope of the measurements pertaining to the particular chart.
The result is an interesting correlation between solar activity and a global
temperature proxy over a long time - scale (Graph from Neff et al., 2001):
The three independent
temperature proxies measured from the same peat deposit converge on an Arctic MAT for the Pliocene of ∼ 0 °C that corresponds with a ΔMAT of ∼ 19 °C (Table 1).
The Holocene plateau and cooling trends are from EPICA Dome
C temperature proxies and the past 1900 - year trends are from Stenni's Antarctic region reconstructions.
The «sceptical» blogosphere had in fact been excercised for much longer by temperature records - the much - discussed hockey stick controversy, allegations that data and methods were being kept secret, the use of
temperature proxies such as tree - rings, and so on.
