SO&P: Data for Deliverable 6
European gridded temperature and precipitation/drought reconstructions

The following new reconstructions of past European climate have been developed with full or partial funding from the SO&P project, and together they represent deliverable 6 of the project (see deliverables list).

• Reconstruction from 1100-present of April-September temperatures averaged over western Europe [Guiot et al., 2005]
  
  
  • The reference for this data set is (see SO&P publications for reprints):
    • Guiot J, Nicault A, Rathgeber C, Edouard JL, Guibal F, Pichard G and Till C (2005) Last-millennium summer-temperature variations in western Europe based on proxy data. The Holocene 15, 489-500.
    
    
  • This reconstructed temperature data set is available on the SO&P climate reconstructions data page.
  
  
  
• Reconstruction from 1500-present of seasonal temperatures for a grid covering Europe [Luterbacher et al., 2004; Xoplaki et al., 2005]
