  1. Data and Tools for ARTS at the World Data Center for Paleoclimatology C. Mark Eakin World Data Center for Paleoclimatology NOAA National Geophysical Data Center Boulder, Colorado

  2. NOAA Paleoclimatology Program and World Data Center for Paleoclimatology WDC for Paleoclimatology Mission: To provide long-term climate and other environmental data needed to understand and predict climate variability and change “The farther backward you can look, the farther forward you are likely to see” -- Winston Churchill ARTS 2001, Noumea, New Caledonia

  3. What is ARTS? • ARTS is an official project of the IGBP/PAGES • International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme • Past Global Changes Programme • The ARTS initiative promotes the synthesis of paleoclimatic data with instrumental and modeling perspectives to address uncertainties in our understanding of tropical climate variability and its impacts. • ARTS requires a wide array of annually resolved/datable paleoclimatic data from the tropics and tropically driven locations. ARTS 2001, Noumea, New Caledonia

  4. Windows into Past Centuries • ARTS synthesis project "Climate of the Nineteenth Century,” (CNC) would coordinate analysis of climate of the past several centuries. • Other ARTS work would reconstruct climate from earlier times such as the mid-holocene or past glacial or interglacial periods. • An important target: to reconstruct indices of large-scale climate systems from pre-instrumental periods. ARTS 2001, Noumea, New Caledonia

  5. Windows into Past Centuries Background colors indicate mean instrumental SST field. Records at pink dots span the interval 1895-1990; white dots indicate shorter records. SST trends are calculated over the 1895-1990 period and are indicated parenthetically in °C per 100 years. (after Bradley et al. in prep., PAGES Synthesis Volume). ARTS 2001, Noumea, New Caledonia

  6. Windows into Past Centuries • The graph shows a summary of annual resolution coral d18O isotope records, normalized to the 1923-1980 period (thick line denotes 7-year smooth ). • The data show general trends consistent with globally warmer/wetter conditions. (after Bradley et al. in prep., PAGES Synthesis Volume). ARTS 2001, Noumea, New Caledonia

  7. a b c d Windows into Past Centuries SSTs reconstructed from coral d18O data at 13 sites. • (a) Leading spatial pattern observed in coral data (ENSO-like mode, in dimensionless units); shading indicates 90% significance. • (b) The time series of that pattern (degrees C). • (c and d) series of second pattern: similar to global warming signal. After Evans et al. (2000) Paleoceanography, 15 ARTS 2001, Noumea, New Caledonia

  8. Data-Model Comparisons • Comparison of energy balance model with instrumental data shows good fit over most of 1000 years • Particular discrepancies seen in 19th, early 20th centuries ARTS 2001, Noumea, New Caledonia After Crowley (2000), Science 289

  13. Windows into Past Millennia Climate researchers need high-resolution records from targeted Holocene, last-glacial and last interglacial intervals to understand how the climate system responded to boundary conditions substantially different from those prevailing today.

  31. Data Contribution "Full and open sharing of the full suite of global data sets, and other data sets needed for global change studies, is the primary objective of the IGBP." - IGBP Report No.12 "Make your data available without restrictions once published by contributing to an organization committed to long-term data availability." Our goal at the WDC is to make data submission easy and efficient for you, to help you preserve your data as a legacy that can be used by your colleagues today AND by future generations of scientists. The WDC has made a long term commitment to preserve your data and make it available to others. Once contributed your data will be available to others as a set of files organized by your name, date, and contribution number (accessible via the WWW, FTP, and also on diskette). Your data may also be imported into a relational database and thus accessible using database queries. Data Policy - Frequently Asked Questions: • What about a proprietary period for exclusive use? • What if I want to have my own archive or Web site? • What about the ancillary project data that I never published? • What are the Internationally-agreed up on policies for data sharing? International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme Data Policy International Council of Scientific Unions Data Policy How to contribute: Check the guidelines to make sure your data set is complete, and in a useable format. Contact us if you have questions about what to include or what formats are required.
