Figure 1 Locations and types of 28 temperature proxies (left panel), and temperature reconstructions for China (a in right panel; Ge et al., 2013) based on 28 temperature proxies with PLS (red lines) and PCR (blue lines) methods respectively at decadal (thin lines) and centennial timescales (solid lines; smoothed by a 5-point FFT filter), along with the 95% confidence level (shading). The reference value is the mean temperature from 1851 to 1950. The green line indicates the observed average air temperature. (b) Numbers of temperature proxies used.
