The dataset is provided in one zip file containing individual files (ascii .dat) for each combination of region/season and forcing type; separately for each ensemble member. For each region/season, the following transient ensemble simulation data are available: solar forcing (four members), orbital forcing (three), volcanic forcing (five), land-use (three), greenhouse gases (three), all forcings combined (ten). The dataset also includes a segment from an unforced control simulation for each region/season, having the same length as for the forced simulations. Each time series has a resolution of one temperature value per year. Time series plots for all records are also included as pdf files.
To construct the current dataset, data fields of monthly mean surface air temperature, from the CESM1 Last Millennium Ensemble, were dowloaded from the Climate Data Gateway at the National Center for Atmospheric Research at https://www.earthsystemgrid.org/dataset/ucar.cgd.ccsm4.CESM_CAM5_LME.html. These monthly data fields were then used to create area-averaged time series that match the domain and seasonal window of each of the PAGES 2k regional reconstructions, exactly following the description by the PAGES 2k-PMIP3 group, 2015: Continental-scale temperature variability in PMIP3 simulations and PAGES 2k regional temperature reconstructions over the past millennium, Clim. Past, 11, 1673-1699, https://doi.org/10.5194/cp-11-1673-2015. Alistair Hind (formerly at Department of Physical Geography and Department of Mathematics, Stockholm University) performed this data processing.
The CESM1 Last Millennium Ensemble simulation is described by Otto-Bliesner, B.L., E.C. Brady, J. Fasullo, A. Jahn, L. Landrum, S. Stevenson, N. Rosenbloom, A. Mai, and G. Strand, 2016: Climate Variability and Change since 850 CE: An Ensemble Approach with the Community Earth System Model. Bull. Amer. Meteor. Soc., 97, 735–754, https://doi.org/10.1175/BAMS-D-14-00233.1
The principal investigator has changed her name from Ekaterina Fetisova (author of the doctoral thesis for which this dataset was created) to Katarina Lashgari.
