Preferred term

proxy records  

Definition

  • CLIMATE SCIENTISTS WOULD prefer to have all climate change information recorded by weather instruments, but suitable instrumentation was practically nonexistent before the 19th century. As a result, investigators of longer-term (paleoclimatic) climate changes rely on datable noninstrumental information. [Source: Encyclopedia of Global Warming and Climate Change; Climatic Data, Proxy Records]
