NOAA/WDS Paleoclimatology - Continental-scale temperature variability during the past two millennia

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Catalog Last Checked: April 20, 2026 at 10:10 PM | Dataset Last Updated: May 01, 2013 at 12:00 AM

This archived Paleoclimatology Study is available from the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI), under the World Data Service (WDS) for Paleoclimatology. The associated NCEI study type is Climate Reconstruction. The data include parameters of climate reconstructions with a geographic location of Global. The time period coverage is from 1950 to -50 in calendar years before present (BP). See metadata information for parameter and study location details. Please cite this study when using the data.
