The first is transcribed directly from meteorological diaries recorded by the Madison family for 17 years and reflects the scientific interests of James Madison and Thomas Jefferson. In his most active period as a scientist, Madison assisted Jefferson by observing the climate and fauna in Virginia to counter the contemporary scientific view that the humid, cold climate of the New World decreased the size and number of its species. The second reconstruction is generated using tree rings from a forest in the Montpelier plantation and connects Madison's era to the modern instrumental precipitation record. These trees provide a significant reconstruction of both early summer and prior fall precipitation. Comparison of the dendroclimatic and diary reconstructions suggests a delay in the seasonality of precipitation from Madison's era to the mid-twentieth century. Furthermore, the dendroclimatic reconstructions of early summer and prior fall precipitation appear to track this shift in seasonality.","pubRank":"1"}],"site":[{"NOAASiteId":"15587","siteName":"Montpelier National Natural Landmark Forest","siteCode":null,"mappable":"Y","locationName":"Continent>North America>United States Of America>Virginia","geo":{"geoType":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"POINT","coordinates":["38.2","-78.15"]},"properties":{"southernmostLatitude":"38.2","northernmostLatitude":"38.2","westernmostLongitude":"-78.15","easternmostLongitude":"-78.15","minElevationMeters":"200","maxElevationMeters":"200"}},"paleoData":[{"dataTableName":"Druckenbrod2003","NOAADataTableId":"38407","earliestYear":1784,"mostRecentYear":1966,"timeUnit":"CE","earliestYearBP":166,"mostRecentYearBP":-16,"earliestYearCE":1784,"mostRecentYearCE":1966,"coreLengthMeters":null,"dataTableNotes":null,"species":[],"dataFile":[{"fileUrl":"https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/pub/data/paleo/treering/reconstructions/northamerica/usa/montpelier_precip-noaa.txt","urlDescription":"NOAA Template File","linkText":"Early Summer and Prior Fall Precipitation Reconstructions","variables":[{"cvDataType":"CLIMATE RECONSTRUCTIONS|HISTORICAL|INSTRUMENTAL|TREE RING","cvWhat":"age variable>age","cvMaterial":null,"cvError":null,"cvUnit":"time unit>age unit>year Common Era","cvSeasonality":null,"cvDetail":null,"cvMethod":null,"cvAdditionalInfo":null,"cvFormat":"Numeric","cvShortName":"age_CE"},{"cvDataType":"INSTRUMENTAL","cvWhat":"earth system variable>hydroclimatic variable>hydroclimate rate>precipitation","cvMaterial":null,"cvError":null,"cvUnit":"length unit>centimeter","cvSeasonality":"1-month period>Sep","cvDetail":"anomalized","cvMethod":null,"cvAdditionalInfo":"VA Climate Division 1 and 4","cvFormat":"Numeric","cvShortName":"Sep_inst"},{"cvDataType":"INSTRUMENTAL","cvWhat":"earth system variable>hydroclimatic variable>hydroclimate rate>precipitation","cvMaterial":null,"cvError":null,"cvUnit":"length unit>centimeter","cvSeasonality":"1-month period>Jun","cvDetail":"anomalized","cvMethod":null,"cvAdditionalInfo":"VA Climate Division 1 and 4","cvFormat":"Numeric","cvShortName":"Jun_inst"},{"cvDataType":"HISTORICAL","cvWhat":"earth system variable>hydroclimatic variable>hydroclimate rate>precipitation","cvMaterial":null,"cvError":null,"cvUnit":"dimensionless>count","cvSeasonality":"2-month period>Jun-Jul","cvDetail":"anomalized","cvMethod":null,"cvAdditionalInfo":"number of rainy days","cvFormat":"Numeric","cvShortName":"JunJul_rainy"},{"cvDataType":"HISTORICAL","cvWhat":"earth system variable>hydroclimatic variable>hydroclimate rate>precipitation","cvMaterial":null,"cvError":null,"cvUnit":"dimensionless>count","cvSeasonality":"1-month period>May","cvDetail":"anomalized","cvMethod":null,"cvAdditionalInfo":"number of rainy days","cvFormat":"Numeric","cvShortName":"May_rainy"},{"cvDataType":"HISTORICAL","cvWhat":"earth system variable>hydroclimatic variable>hydroclimate rate>precipitation","cvMaterial":null,"cvError":null,"cvUnit":"length unit>centimeter","cvSeasonality":"2-month period>Jun-Jul","cvDetail":"anomalized","cvMethod":null,"cvAdditionalInfo":"from rain gauge","cvFormat":"Numeric","cvShortName":"JunJul_gauge"},{"cvDataType":"HISTORICAL","cvWhat":"earth system variable>hydroclimatic variable>hydroclimate rate>precipitation","cvMaterial":null,"cvError":null,"cvUnit":"length unit>centimeter","cvSeasonality":"1-month period>May","cvDetail":"anomalized","cvMethod":null,"cvAdditionalInfo":"from rain gauge","cvFormat":"Numeric","cvShortName":"May_gauge"},{"cvDataType":"CLIMATE RECONSTRUCTIONS|TREE RING","cvWhat":"earth system variable>hydroclimatic variable>hydroclimate rate>precipitation","cvMaterial":"reconstruction material>physical measurement>ring width","cvError":null,"cvUnit":"length unit>centimeter","cvSeasonality":"1-month period>Sep","cvDetail":"anomalized","cvMethod":"computational method>statistical analysis method>regression analysis","cvAdditionalInfo":"calibation data set: local instrumental data;
