Tree ring reconstructed summer (JJA) temperatures over Bhutan

Paul J. Krusic, Edward R. Cook, D. Dukpa, A. E. Putnam, S. Rupper, J. Schaefer

An annual temperature reconstruction, in degrees centigrade, produced from a 638 year long Himalayan spruce chronology. The chronology is a composite chronology composed of samples from two nearby sites in Bhutan.
