Dear Mike and Ian


Keith has asked me to send you a timeseries for the IPCC multi-proxy

reconstruction figure, to replace the one you currently have. The data are

attached to this e-mail. They go from 1402 to 1995, although we usually

stop the series in 1960 because of the recent non-temperature signal that

is superimposed on the tree-ring data that we use. I haven't put a 40-yr

smoothing through them - I thought it best if you were to do this to ensure

the same filter was used for all curves.


The raw data are the same as used in Briffa et al. (1998), the Nature paper

that I think you have the reference for already. They are analysed in a

different way, to retain the low-frequency variations. In this sense, it

is one-step removed from Briffa et al. (1998). It is not two-steps removed

from Briffa et al. (1998), since the new series is simply a *replacement*

for the one that you have been using, rather than being one-step further.


A new manuscript is in preparation describing this alternative analysis

method, the calibration of the resulting series, and their comparison with

other reconstructions. We are consdering submitting this manuscript to J.

Geophys. Res. when it is ready, but for now it is best cited as:

Briffa KR, Osborn TJ, Schweingruber FH, Harris IC and Jones PD (1999)

Extracting low-frequency temperature variations from a northern tree-ring

density network. In preparation.

Keith will be sending you a copy of the manuscript when it is nearer to

completion.


I have also attached a PS file showing the original Briffa et al. (1998)

curve, with annotation of cold years associated with known volcanic

eruptions. Overlain on this, you will see a green curve. This is the new

series with a 40-yr filter through it. This is just so that you can see

what it should look like (***ignore the temperature scale on this

figure***, since the baseline is non-standard).


With regard to the baseline, the data I've sent are calibrated over the

period 1881-1960 against the instrumental Apr-Sep tempratures averaged over

all land grid boxes with observed data that are north of 20N. As such, the

mean of our reconstruction over 1881-1960 matches the mean of the observed

target series over the same period. Since the observed series consists of

degrees C anomalies wrt to 1961-90, we say that the reconstructed series

also represents degrees C anomalies wrt to 1961-90. One could, of course,

shift the mean of our reconstruction so that it matched the observed series

over a different period - say 1931-60 - but I don't see that this improves

things. Indeed, if the non-temperature signal that causes the decline in

tree-ring density begins before 1960, then a short 1931-60 period might

yield a more biased result than using a longer 1881-1960 period.


If you have any queries regarding this replacement data, then please e-mail

me and/or Keith.


Best regards


Tim
