a. McPartland MY et al. have published a new paper in Climate of the Past on "The colors of proxy noise". This paper addresses how proxy records of past climate contain not only true climate signals but also non-climatic variations (“noise”). These noise components differ across timescales and proxy types, and their proper characterization is crucial for accurately interpreting paleoclimate data. > https://pastglobalchanges.org/publications/138728&source=gmail&ust=1763316550905000&usg=AOvVaw0Q3n0U4Ih-GwetDZO_q2z 2">Access article
