cc: p.jones@uea,k.briffa@uea date: Fri, 16 Mar 2001 16:41:09 +0000 from: Tim Osborn subject: Re: Fwd: report to: tbarnett-ul@ucsd.edu Tim, attached is an electronic version of the UEA report contribution. Slightly modified from the paper copy I gave you in that there's an extra sentence about a CMIP project and also the references are all provided. In terms of total papers attributable in whole or part to the project, that's THREE, and they're listed in the report. Figures are attached as EPS files. sci_2a.cmyk.eps sci_2b.cmyk.eps are parts (a) and (b) of our review paper that's 'in press' with Science. The caption is: Fig. 2 (A) Northern Hemisphere surface temperature anomalies (°C) relative to the 1961-90 mean (dotted line). Annual-mean land and marine temperature from instrumental observations (black, 1856 to 1999) (5), and estimated by Mann et al. (red, 1000 to 1980) (6,10) and Crowley and Lowery (orange, 1000 to 1987) (7). April-to-September mean temperature from land north of 20°N estimated by Briffa et al. (green, 1402 to 1960) (8), and estimated by re-calibrating (blue, 1000 to 1991) the Jones et al. northern hemisphere summer temperature estimate (9,16). All series have been smoothed with a 30-year Gaussian-weighted filter. (B) Standard errors (SE, °C) of the Mann et al. (red) (from 6,10), Briffa et al. (green) (from 8), and Jones et al. (blue) (quantified here, 20) temperature reconstructions, calculated for 30-year smoothed data. The proxy average series (6-10) do not extend to the present, because many of the constituent series were sampled as long ago as the early 1980s. bosh00a_fig5.eps is Plate 2 from our JGR paper (Briffa et al., 2001) with the caption: Plate 2. Reconstructions of nine regional April-September temperature series, all with decadal smoothing. Observed temperatures are shown in red, Hugershoff-standardized reconstructions are shown in dark blue, age-banded reconstructions are shown in black (with ±1 and ±2 standard errors indicated by the yellow and orange shading). The vertical red lines in some reconstructions indicate how far back the age-banded recon-structions are considered to be reliable (see text for further details). Hope those two figures are useful!
