Quantitative and qualitative reconstructions of paleoclimate from paleosols, supplemented by analyses of fossil floras, indicate no change in climate through the studied interval.
This does not affect the overall image quality as the dataset obtained from 360 projections (one for each degree during 360° rotation) may be used for qualitative image reconstruction.
The results are in general agreement with the qualitative observations and reconstruction of the event as reported by experts.
For qualitative assessment, the reconstruction schemes have been tested with real data.
In the literature, the latter are usually evaluated by showing qualitative spectral reflectance reconstruction results (e.g., a figure comparing the reference and measured spectral reflectance), and presenting quantitative results concerning the reference and reconstructed or coordinates [30 33].
While the voids carry weak quantitative significance when considering the implicit artifacts of the reconstruction, qualitative comparative analysis such as analyzing void morphology and making comparisons with other samples collected with compatible experimental procedures are possible.

Sections of this article consider the wide range of paleoclimate proxies, qualitative and quantitative paleoclimate reconstruction methods, and the important step of synthesizing and mapping paleoclimate data, as well as comparisons with climate model output.
For the reconstruction and qualitative analysis of the signal flow network we employ a logical modelling framework (Boolean networks represented as logical interaction hypergraphs) as introduced previously [ 13, 14].
CBCT also allows for secondary reconstructions for qualitative and quantitative of the bone surfaces and quantitative evaluation of the relationship between the teeth and bone [17].
