| Abstract: |
| The proposed research will investigate the reliability of paleoreconstructions of Pacific decadal variability. Uncertainties in such reconstructions can result from the temporal and spatial sparseness of the instrumental climate record, which is used to establish statistical relationships between proxy indices and climate variables of interest. The proposed research will use centennial-scale climate model output to act as surrogate climate data and pseudoproxy data to investigate the sensitivity of these statistical relationships, and hence of the resulting reconstructions of large-scale climate patterns, to temporal and spatial subsetting. |
