This is a draft Supplementary Materials website for the above paper. The data for each of the figure panels shown in the paper can be accessed by clicking on the panels shown below. A tar file containing the scripts to access and process the data using GMT as described in the Smerdon et al. (2011) paper can be downloaded here.

Figure 1: (a) Average of the mean annual GKSS surface temperature field for the 1880-1980 C.E. period from S10; (b) same as (a) but for the version regridded, used and archived by M07; (c) GKSS surface temperature field derived by correctly applying the GMT surface function using the default tension setting of 0 (the longitude range has been changed to -180 –180 as in panel (b)); (d) same as (c) but without the -fg flag in the call of the surface function, resulting in large-scale smoothing of the WH due to the loss of all WH data; (e) and (f ) are the same as (c) and (d) respectively, but for a tension setting of 0.5 (the tension can range between 0 and 1). |

Figure 2: Panels (a) and (b) are for the same data as those in panels (b) and (d) in Figure 1, but for the longitudinal range 0–360 to show the anchoring of the smoothed WH on its eastern boundary and the discontinuity of the field at 180: (a) M07 processing; (b) resulting field after application of the surface function to the field in Figure 1a while omitting the -fg flag. |

Please note: Access to the Ingrid-based Data Catalogs is via port 81 of our data server. Some firewalls disallow access to any ports other than the default (port 80). If this is the case, you will see these links hanging forever upon clicking the link or will get an error message. Possible solutions are to change your firewall settings to allow access to port 81, or access the links from outside of your firewall.
