Description :
Based on two kinds of proxy data, a tree-ring width chronology at Huashan and the wetness/dryness grade series around Xi'an in north-central China, this present study demonstrates how different types of proxy climate records can be combined to give a more reliable estimate of past climate than either record can be done individually. Among various statistical models, the best combined model produced by the conditional quantile adjustment method can be selected for reconstruction of April-July rainfall at Huashan back to 1600 A.D.
