A Return to Polar Urals: Wilson et al 2016

Feb 8, 2016 – 11:49 AM

Wilson et al 2016, like D’Arrigo et al 2006, includes a ‘Polar Urals’ chronology as one of its components.  Tree ring chronologies from Polar Urals and Yamal have long been a contentious issue at Climate Audit, dating back to the earliest days (see tags Yamal, Polar Urals). Whereas the D’Arrigo et al 2006 version had one […]

More on the Gridded MXD Data

Oct 31, 2008 – 1:24 PM

We’ve noted that Briffa’s gridded MXD has high correlations to temperature, much higher than run-of-mill proxies. We’ve also noted that Mann (like Briffa) truncated this data at 1960 because of divergence. At the time that Mann et al 2008, the gridded MXD data was not available anywhere – Mann cited a webpage as follows: The […]

Mann 2008: the Briffa MXD Network

Sep 22, 2008 – 1:32 PM

Those who forget the past are condemned to repeat it. The SI for MBH (and Mann et al 2007) had incorrect geographic locations for numerous proxies. The same error is repeated in Mann et al 2008, a defect encountered by Jeff Id and myself in trying to replicate reported correlations to gridcell temperatures. Nearly 100 […]

Prometheus on Climateaudit on Briffa MXD

May 4, 2005 – 10:16 PM

Roger Pielke at Prometheus has some kind words for my comments on the IPCC "editing" of the Briffa MXD series in their spaghetti graph. Good for Chris Mooney and good for Climate Audit. Such close attention can help both the IPCC and NASA realize that people are paying attention to their use of information and […]
