Temperature Proxies go to the Movies
Disasters: Geology vs. Hollywood
Introduction
"Everyone talks about the weather, but no one ever does anything about it."
--Mark Twain
Mark Twain's famous quip no longer
rings true. Apparently, humans are
doing a great deal to influence the
weather. At least that is what the
"hockey stick" plot shows, published
by Mann et al. in 1999 in an issue of
Nature (inset image). The plot shows
time on the x-axis and global average
temperature relative to 1995 in
degrees Celsius on the y-axis. Notice
the rise of approximately half of a
degree coinciding with the industrial
revolution. Why is the plot disputed?
Doesn't it clearly show that the
temperature was stable for hundreds
of years, and then suddenly shot up?
Well, the catch is that we cannot go
back in time and record the actual
temperatures hundreds of years ago,
so the plot is based on "proxy" data. A temperature proxy is something we can measure that is not temperature, but is related to temperature "well enough" to be used as a substitute. Mann et al. used combinations of paleoclimate data – tree rings, coral growth, stable isotope data, etc. – to deduce historic temperatures. For example, the amount a tree grows each year can be seen in the rings, and trees tend to grow more in warmer years. The interpretation of the proxy data is at the heart of the dispute over this famous plot.
Learning Objectives
●
Understand how proxies can be used to help make predictions. (1, 2, a, b)
●
Explain the limitations with proxies relative to their use in climate science. (1, 2, c)
Part 1
: A Hollywood Analogy
Let's get the flavor of proxies by investigating a different type of data set. Suppose we want to predict the first-year box office receipts of a new movie that is based on a best-selling book. Hollywood has made movies based on books many times before, so we have earnings data for previous movies that are spun off
books. We can compare with three things that might
be related (proxies). Three possible proxies:
1.
the movie's production costs (big budget films tend to make more money)
2.
the amount of money spent on promotion (more ads, more sales)
3.
total book sales (movies are usually based on best-sellers)

Using the provided graph, plot the Production Costs (horizontal X values) vs. the Box Office Receipts (vertical Y values). If you plot the data correctly, your plotted points should be close to the best fit line (thin red line).
EES 0836
Questions
1.
Do you think it is reasonable to use production costs to predict box office receipts even though the line does not fit the data perfectly? Why or why not?
I think it is reasonable to estimate box office revenue based on production costs. I believe this because film producers have access to enough data to establish a link between a film's production costs and its box office performance. Making a would presumably be more expensive.
2.
If you were a Hollywood producer, would you rather your new movie plotted above or below the line? Why? If I were a Hollywood producer I would rather have my movie plotted ab
over the line because that would mean I got more box office receipts which would because of high success. 3.
Plotted below are the two other proxies for box office receipts.
Of all three proxies plotted, which do you think is the best predictor? Explain your reasoning.
Clearly, all three proxies hold some predictive value (there is at least some correlation between all three and the box office receipts). Is it possible to combine the information from all three to come up with an even better predictor? The easy answer is: Yes
. This can be accomplished using a method called "multiple
linear regression," which tells us what weighted combination of our three predictors yields the best proxy.
For this data set, it turns out the best predictor is the combination shown in the last column of the table below. (As before, all numbers are in millions of dollars.)
Finish filling in the values for the combined proxy in the last column of the table.
NOTE there is an order of operations issue here. You need to do the multiplication of the values in the parentheses first
, then
add the four terms together to get the final answer.

The student engineer of a campus radio station wishes to verify the effectiveness of the lightning rod on the antenna mast (see the figure below). The unknown resistance Ry is between points C and E. Point E is a "true ground," but is inaccessible for direct measurement because the stratum in which it is located is several meters below Earth's surface. Two identical rods are driven into the ground at A and B, introducing an unknown resistance Ry. The procedure for finding the unknown resistance Rx is as follows. Measure resistance Ry between points A and B. Then connect A and B with a heavy conducting wire and measure resistance
R, between points A and C.
