Description: The temperature reconstruction produced using data from all six ice cores is shown by the black line in the attached figure, and spans the period from 9690BC to AD1970. The blue lines represent two focus on the dataset, first on the Late Holocene (or Meghalayan) and then on the last millenium. It has a resolution of around 20 years, meaning that each data point represents the average temperature of the surrounding 20 years. So, the end of the record – 1970 – shows the average temperature between 1960 and 1980. The original data for the creation of these figures have been downloaded from the NOAA website: ftp://ftp.ncdc.noaa.gov/pub/data/paleo/icecore/greenland/vinther2009greenland.txt ORIGINAL REFERENCE: Vinther, B.M., S.L.
