 Southern Hemisphere high-resolution palaeoclimate records 
of the last 2000 years.

  <Summary>
    <Abstract>This study presents a comprehensive assessment of high-resolution 
Southern Hemisphere (SH) paleoarchives covering the last 2000 years. 
We identified 174 monthly to annually resolved climate proxy 
(tree ring, coral, ice core, documentary, speleothem and sedimentary) 
records from the Hemisphere. We assess the interannual and decadal 
sensitivity of each proxy record to large-scale circulation indices 
from the Pacific, Indian and Southern Ocean regions over the twentieth 
century. We then analyse the potential of this newly expanded 
palaeoclimate network to collectively represent predictands 
(sea surface temperature, sea level pressure, surface air temperature 
and precipitation) commonly used in climate reconstructions. 
The key dynamical centres-of-action of the equatorial Indo-Pacific 
are well captured by the palaeoclimate network, indicating that there 
is considerable reconstruction potential in this region, particularly 
in the post AD 1600 period when a number of long coral records are 
available. Current spatiotemporal gaps in data coverage and regions 
where significant potential for future proxy collection exists 
are discussed. We then highlight the need for new and extended records 
from key dynamical regions of the Southern Hemisphere. Although 
large-scale climate field reconstructions for the SH are in their 
infancy, we report that excellent progress in the development of 
regional proxies now makes plausible estimates of continental- 
to hemispheric-scale climate variations possible.
