AB: The have been several prominent efforts at obtaining proxies for time series of temperature and precipitation for California for the Holocene and earlier. Here we examine collective similarities and differences between these proxies. Assuming that each of these independent time series is of equal value allows us to make composite time series of paleoclimate in the region that takes into account uncertainty caused by discrepancies and relative absence of data. This approach can be employed for other regions with multiple data sources and for global reconstructions of paleoclimate.
