Data release for the paper "Global multi-decadal temperature variability over the Common Era", by PAGES2k Consortium, 2019, Nature Geoscience, DOI: 10.1038/s41561-019-0400-0 This data collection contains: input_data_figure_code.zip: Input data for the reconstructions and required datasets and code to generate the figures in the paper. txt files: GMST reconstruction outcomes Reconstruction txt files: Reconstruction results. File names are methods abbreviations as in the paper. 1000-member reconstructions, tab separated, members in columns, first column years CE. Note: We strongly recommend that future users of this reconstruction product make use of our full 7000-member multi-method ensemble, which captures uncertainties arising from both the different reconstruction methods and sampling of the input data. Full_ensemble_median_and 95pct_range.txt: raw and 31-year filtered median and 95% range (2.5th and 97.5th percentiles) of the full 7000-member ensemble accross all reconstruction methods. input_data_figure_code.zip: Proxy data used for the reconstructions: proxy_ama_2.0.0_PAGES-crit-regional+FDR.txt: PAGES2k v2.0.0 proxy records, R-FDR screened subset (See PAGES2k Consortium, 2017, Scientific Data, doi: 10.1038/sdata.2017.88). Data are tab separated, the first column is the "paleoData_TSid" to identify each record in the metadata file. First row is year CE. metadata_2.0.0_PAGES-crit-regional+FDR.txt: According metadatam tab separated. Contains a selection of PAGES2k v.2.0.0 database fields in each row: dataSetName, geo_latitude, geo_longitude, archiveType, resMed (Median resolution in years), paleoData_TSid (the column header in the data files). For complete metadata please consult the PAGES2k Database (https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.c.3285353.v2). Instrumental target: had4_krig_ama_v2_0_0.txt: April to March aggregated target used for the reconstructions. Space separated, no column headers. Newest updated data available at: http://www-users.york.ac.uk/~kdc3/papers/coverage2013/had4_krig_v2_0_0.txt Climate model data used for Figs. 2-4: Models_fullforced_Past1000_GMST_AprMAr.RData: R Workspace containing the model data as time series over the April-March seasonal window, to be consistent with the reconstructions. colnames(models.ama.fullforced) identifies the name of each simulation. Details see Methods section. Models_ctrl_GMST_AprMar.RData: Model control runs. Same format as model data described above. Forcing data: forcing2.csv: Global mean forcing datasets, semicolon separated. Columns: Year CE, CO2, Volcanic, Solar README_forcing.md: Further information about the forcing datasets (sources etc).
