Climate over past millennia
Philip Jones,Michael E. Mann +1 more
TL;DR: This paper reviewed evidence for climate change over the past several millennia from instrumental and high-resolution climate "proxy" data sources and climate modeling studies and concluded that late 20th century warmth is unprecedented at hemispheric and, likely, global scales.

TL;DR: A review of late-Holocene palaeoclimaoclimatology represents the results from a PAGES/CLIVAR Intersection Panel meeting that took place in June 2006 as mentioned in this paper, emphasizing current issues in their use for climate reconstruction; various approaches that have been adopted to combine multiple climate proxy records to provide estimates of past annual-to-decadal timescale Northern Hemisphere surface temperatures and other climate variables, such as large-scale circulation indices; and the forcing histories used in climate model simulations of the past millennium.

Annual climate variability in the Holocene: interpreting the message of ancient trees
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used tree-ring sample collections across the traditional research areas of North America and Europe, and the start of major developments in many new areas of Eurasia, South America and Australasia.
Journal ArticleDOI
One hundred years of tree-ring research in the tropics – a brief history and an outlook to future challenges
TL;DR: In more than 20 tropical countries and numerous tree species, the existence of annual tree-rings is doubtless proven as mentioned in this paper, but the influence of the photoperiod is questionable, since the growth is induced by short drought periods or long lasting inundation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relating tree growth to rainfall in Bolivian rain forests: a test for six species using tree ring analysis
TL;DR: The results of the climate–growth analysis show a positive relationship between tree growth and rainfall in certain periods of the year, indicating that rainfall plays a major role in tree growth.

Time series analysis, forecasting and control
TL;DR: In this article, a complete revision of a classic, seminal, and authoritative book that has been the model for most books on the topic written since 1970 is presented, focusing on practical techniques throughout, rather than a rigorous mathematical treatment of the subject.

Time Series Analysis Forecasting and Control
TL;DR: This revision of a classic, seminal, and authoritative book explores the building of stochastic models for time series and their use in important areas of application forecasting, model specification, estimation, and checking, transfer function modeling of dynamic relationships, modeling the effects of intervention events, and process control.

Computer-Assisted Quality Control in Tree-Ring Dating and Measurement
TL;DR: In this article, a computer program for objectively checking tree-ring measurement series and aiding in the cross-dating process is presented, which can be used to determine the dating of tree -ring site collections from areas of somewhat difficult crossdating.

Tree Rings and Climate
TL;DR: In this paper, a summary of basic dendrochronology, especially its application to Beams from these activities that various statistical methods such as they are covered, is given.
