Resolving troubling discord in Boreal versus Austral late Holocene temperature history
According to temperature reconstructions based on natural climate proxy archives (ice cores, lake sediments, tree rings etc.), Northern and Southern Hemisphere (NH, SH) temperature histories differ in important features over the past millennia. This stands in contrast to the broad hemispheric agreement found in corresponding climate model simulations. I hypothesize that a new tree-ring proxy, based on quantitative wood anatomy, can be used to improve temperature reconstructions in both hemispheres, and by this reduce differences between reconstructions and simulations. Preliminary studies show such results at regional scales in Eurasia, and Hemispheric scale networks based on quantitative…
