Short summary
We have reconstructed past changes in North Atlantic climate by combining climate model output with tree-ring and ice core data. Our new data includes sea level pressure, temperature and precipitation on annual and seasonal time scales. The reconstruction captures changes in observed temperature over several hundred years across Greenland and Europe. This data can be used to study variations in climate and impacts of greenhouse gases, volcanic eruptions and variations in solar activity.
