After smoothing to reduce the high between-sample variability of inferred temperatures, the reconstruction indicates July air temperatures of 10.4- 10.9°C at the end of the Younger Dryas, of 11.9-12.8°C during the early and mid-Holocene (11500-4000 cal. BP), and slightly lower temperatures of 11.5-12.0°C during the late Holocene (3500-1000 cal. BP). A warming trend inferred for the past millennium is most likely an artifact of human impact on Hinterburgsee's chironomid fauna, rather than a genuine temperature signal. The most prominent climatological events during the Holocene were two periods of lower temperatures at c. 10700-10500 cal. BP and 8200-7700 cal. BP and an abrupt shift to a cooler late-Holocene climate around 4000-3700 cal. BP. Although the chironomid-inferred climate signals were within the prediction error of the model (1.51°C), major inferred temperature changes agree well with other northern and central European climate reconstructions and underline the potential of subfossil chironomid analysis to reconstruct even the moderate climatic changes within the Holocene.","pubRank":"1"}],"site":[{"NOAASiteId":"55784","siteName":"Hinterburgsee","siteCode":null,"mappable":"Y","locationName":"Continent>Europe>Western Europe>Switzerland","geo":{"geoType":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"POINT","coordinates":["46.7186","8.0686"]},"properties":{"southernmostLatitude":"46.7186","northernmostLatitude":"46.7186","westernmostLongitude":"8.0686","easternmostLongitude":"8.0686","minElevationMeters":"1515","maxElevationMeters":"1515"}},"paleoData":[{"dataTableName":"Hinterburgsee2003temp","NOAADataTableId":"25880","earliestYear":12901,"mostRecentYear":-41,"timeUnit":"cal yr BP","earliestYearBP":12901,"mostRecentYearBP":-41,"earliestYearCE":-10951,"mostRecentYearCE":1991,"coreLengthMeters":1083,"dataTableNotes":null,"species":[],"dataFile":[{"fileUrl":"https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/pub/data/paleo/paleolimnology/europe/switzerland/hinterburgsee2003temp.txt","urlDescription":"NOAA Template File","linkText":"Raw Temperature Reconstruction","variables":[{"cvDataType":"CLIMATE RECONSTRUCTIONS|INSECT|PALEOLIMNOLOGY","cvWhat":"depth variable>depth","cvMaterial":null,"cvError":null,"cvUnit":"length unit>centimeter","cvSeasonality":null,"cvDetail":null,"cvMethod":null,"cvAdditionalInfo":null,"cvFormat":"Numeric","cvShortName":null},{"cvDataType":"CLIMATE RECONSTRUCTIONS|INSECT|PALEOLIMNOLOGY","cvWhat":"age variable>age","cvMaterial":null,"cvError":null,"cvUnit":"time unit>age unit>calendar year before present","cvSeasonality":null,"cvDetail":null,"cvMethod":null,"cvAdditionalInfo":null,"cvFormat":"Numeric","cvShortName":null},{"cvDataType":"CLIMATE RECONSTRUCTIONS|INSECT|PALEOLIMNOLOGY","cvWhat":"earth system variable>temperature variable>temperature>air temperature>surface air temperature","cvMaterial":"reconstruction material>biological assemblage>midge assemblage","cvError":null,"cvUnit":"temperature unit>degree Celsius","cvSeasonality":"1-month period>Jul","cvDetail":null,"cvMethod":null,"cvAdditionalInfo":"chironomid transfer function based reconstruction","cvFormat":"Numeric","cvShortName":null},{"cvDataType":"CLIMATE RECONSTRUCTIONS|INSECT|PALEOLIMNOLOGY","cvWhat":"earth system variable>temperature variable>temperature>air temperature>surface air temperature","cvMaterial":"reconstruction material>biological assemblage>midge assemblage","cvError":"unspecified error>unspecified margin of error","cvUnit":"temperature unit>degree Celsius","cvSeasonality":"1-month period>Jul","cvDetail":null,"cvMethod":null,"cvAdditionalInfo":"chironomid transfer function reconstruction error","cvFormat":"Numeric","cvShortName":null}],"NOAAKeywords":["earth science>paleoclimate>reconstructions>air temperature"]}]},{"dataTableName":"Hinterburgsee2003temp-smoothed","NOAADataTableId":"25881","earliestYear":12091,"mostRecentYear":-41,"timeUnit":"cal yr BP","earliestYearBP":12091,"mostRecentYearBP":-41,"earliestYearCE":-10141,"mostRecentYearCE":1991,"coreLengthMeters":1083,"dataTableNotes":null,"species":[],"dataFile":[{"fileUrl":"https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/pub/data/paleo/paleolimnology/europe/switzerland/hinterburgsee2003temp-smoothed.txt","urlDescription":"NOAA Template File","linkText":"Smoothed Temperature Reconstruction","variables":[{"cvDataType":"CLIMATE RECONSTRUCTIONS|INSECT|PALEOLIMNOLOGY","cvWhat":"age variable>age","cvMaterial":null,"cvError":null,"cvUnit":"dimensionless>count","cvSeasonality":null,"cvDetail":null,"cvMethod":null,"cvAdditionalInfo":null,"cvFormat":"Numeric","cvShortName":null},{"cvDataType":"CLIMATE RECONSTRUCTIONS|INSECT|PALEOLIMNOLOGY","cvWhat":"earth system variable>temperature variable>temperature>air temperature>surface air temperature","cvMaterial":"reconstruction material>biological assemblage>midge assemblage","cvError":null,"cvUnit":"temperature unit>degree Celsius","cvSeasonality":"1-month period>Jul","cvDetail":"smoothed","cvMethod":null,"cvAdditionalInfo":"transfer function based reconstruction and loess smoothing (span=0.1)","cvFormat":"Numeric","cvShortName":null}],"NOAAKeywords":["earth science>paleoclimate>reconstructions>air temperature"]}]}]}],"reference":{"pastThesaurusSkos":"https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/access/paleo-search/skos/past-thesaurus.rdf","pastThesaurusExplorer":"https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/access/paleo-search/cvterms","gcmdKeywordThesaurus":"https://earthdata.nasa.gov/earth-observation-data/find-data/idn/gcmd-keywords"},"dataLicenseDescription":null,"dataLicenseUrl":null}
