Abstract:
This dataset contains the best climate estimate for each sample.
Under Other version, the xlsx file contains the 1) pollen counts used to produce the reconstruction (Pickarski, N. et al., 2015a,b), 2) the best climate estimate for each sample, and 3) the full posterior probabilistic distribution of each sample (as used to generate figure 3 of the associated paper).
