  <Summary>
    <Abstract>Records of past temperature, precipitation, and other climate variables derived from paleoclimate proxies.  Parameter keywords describe what was measured in this data set.  Additional summary information can be found in the abstracts of papers listed in the data set citations. 
          STUDY NOTES: Water Year Annual Precipitation Reconstruction at El Malpais National Monument
near Grants, New Mexico.  The tree-ring chronology associated with this 
reconstruction can be found in the holdings of the International Tree-Ring 
Data Bank (ITRDB) as NM572.CRN (standard chronology on which the 
reconstruction was developed) and NM572R.CRN (the residual tree-ring 
chronology).
