NOAA/WDS Paleoclimatology - Osborn and Briffa 2006 Reconstruction of Spatial Extent of N. Hemisphere Warm and Cold Conditions

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Metadata Last Checked: January 26, 2026 | Last Modified: 2006-07-01T00:00:00.000+00:00
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 Northern Hemisphere. The time period coverage is from 1150 to -54 in calendar years before present (BP). See metadata information for parameter and study location details. Please cite this study when using the data.
