Centennial-Scale Hydroclimate Anomalies, 1500-1600CE

Detailed Description

The time range on the top of each map is the century for which proxy values were averaged and anomalies were calculated.  Blue triangles pointed upward indicate a wet climate anomaly in the proxy data, and brown triangles pointed downward indicate a dry anomaly.  The size and shading of each symbol scale with the percent of age model possibilities that indicate an anomaly, with larger, darker symbols indicating a greater portion of age models that align a particular hydroclimate anomaly with that century.
