Reconstructing
Past Climate in the Southwest
Reconstruction Data
Cool-season precipitation data for the Southwest is provided using both tree-ring reconstructions and instrumental records. Use the map below to select a climate division (reconstructions will open in a new window).
Arizona: Division 1 | Division 2 | Division 3 | Division 4 | Division 5 | Division 6 | Division 7
New Mexico: Division 1 | Division 2 | Division 3 | Division 4 | Division 5 | Division 6 | Division 7 | Division 8
Cool-season
precipitation reconstruction data from this project are available
