Abstract
The method of inverse modelling is summarized and illustrated by examples from short-term climate modelling. The application of the technique to palaeoclimatic data is demonstrated by developing a general method for the construction of linear climate response models simulaneously with the time calibration of core records. The approach admits full variability of the time-depth calibration curve under defined integral constraints while determining the optimal linear climate response to astronomical forcing consistent with general dynamical side conditions.
