Subregional expression of reconstructed temperatures across WNA since 1553 CE. (Left) First four varimax-rotated EOF factor scores (ranging from −1.0 to +1.0) are mapped and labeled with the variance explained by each factor. (Right) Annual (thin black line) and 10-year low pass–filtered (thick red lines) reconstruction time series of JJA maximum temperatures for four major regions of WNA, spanning the period 1553 to 2020 CE.
