    ABSTRACT: In an attempt to obtain robust records of past climatic variations, geothermal temperature-depth data have been combined with dendrochronological data to yield high resolution ground temperature histories. Since the resolution of the den- drochronological record and the ground temperature history inferred from geothermal data are different, comparison of these records is made possible by multiplying the dendrochronological data by the model resolution matrix for the geothermal data inversion. Under this condition, we find that a simple transformation between tree-ring indices and ground temperature changes allows us to interpret tree-ring widths in terms of ground temperatures, thus yielding a high resolution ground temperature history which explains the observed subsurface temperature regime. The linear transformation relating the ground temperature changes and average variations from the tree-ring chronology was found to be very high

  10. [Easterling and Peterson 1995]
    Review previous methods in hoogeneity and propose a new one based on a combination of regression analysis and non-parametric statistics. They find that on very large spatial scales, positive and negative homogeneity adjustments in individual station's max and min temperature time series largely balance out so when averaged into a single time series, the adjusted and unadjusted trends are very similar.

    Reconstructions of solar total and UV irradiances from 1610 to present. These are based on parameterizations of sunspot darkening and facular brightening. Two separate components are reconstructed, the 11 year cycle plus a slowly varying background. Results are cmpared with other reconstructions and with evaluations of NH temperature change with speculation of implications for climate warming.

Flux adjustments added tothe model-computed surface fluxes in order to correct for erroneous represenations of model physics still leave the model with erroneous transient behaviour.

    First climate change experiments including the direct effect of sulphate aerosols (short wave scattering). Predicts future 0.3 K temperature increase by 2050 due to GHG and 0.2 K with aerosols. Aerosols increase agreement with observations. Global warming could accelerate when GHG effects grows dominant over aerosol effects.

  23. [Shen et al. 1995]
    Numerical experiments that explore the effects of three dimensional subsurface heterogeneity on GSTH inferred from broehole temperature profiles. Inversions of steady state temperature profiles containing such three dimensional 'noise' reveal that in an inversion formulation incorporatinga priori information supurious temeprature histories can emerge if constraints are too tight. Relaxation of the aprior constraints enables an effetive muting of the spurious histories... and potentially of signal.
