摘要:The PAGES 2k Network initiative aims to reconstruct climate variables for the last 2000 years. In a parallel effort, the NAM2K group produced an 800-year (1200-1980 AD) decadal scale an-nual mean temperature reconstruction using a network of tree-ring records in western North America ( Wahl et al. 2012a, this issue; Wahl and Smerdon 2012). That reconstruction is referred to henceforth as D1200 (for decadal 1200). Here we present a pollen-based 30-year resolution mean annual temperature re-construction for the temperate region of North America (30.-55.N, 95.-130.W) extending D1200 back to 480 AD. In the following, we describe the methodology used for this reconstruction and briefly compare it with other regional tempera-ture reconstructions
