Summary
Abstract: We present seasonal precipitation reconstructions for European land
areas (30ýW to 40ý E/30-71ýN; given on a 0.5ý x 0.5ý resolved grid)
covering the period 1500-1900 together with gridded reanalysis from
1901 to 2000 (Mitchell and Jones 2005). Principal component regression
techniques were applied to develop this dataset. A large variety of
long instrumental precipitation series, ... View entire text
