Article Synopsis
- This study presents a methodology for reconstructing China's temperature index from 1368 to 1911 using the REACHES database, which digitizes historical meteorological records.
- The reconstruction utilizes an ordinal scale ranging from -2 (very cold) to 1 (warm) and retrieved 12,871 records through a standardized coding system.
- The reconstructed temperature index was validated against early instrumental data, demonstrating strong correlations, and annual and seasonal temperature series were produced for both the entire country and specific geographical regions.
