Two versions of the chronology are developed. The cubic smoothing spline (SPL) chronology, standardized # with a fixed 80 year spline function, retains decadal and higher frequency variation. The regional curve standardization # (RCS) chronology uses regional curve standardization to retain additional lower frequency variation from the same # data. Calibration (1879-1978) of these chronologies with March-August precipitation indicates they explain 40% (SPL) # and 34% (RCS) of the variability in the instrumental precipitation record. The SPL reconstruction models the high frequency # variation better, whereas the RCS reconstruction tracks the low-frequency trends more robustly. It suggests # that spring-summer precipitation was above the long-term average for the periods 1730-1810 and 1870-2000, about # average between 1560 and 1610 and that significantly drier periods occurred during 1510-60, 1610-35, 1660-1730 and # 1830-70. The low-frequency trends of the RCS reconstruction during the 19th century were verified by comparison with a # regional precipitation series derived from 14 long precipitation records from central Europe. Better verification results were # obtained using the original (non-homogenized) records over this interval. These results suggest that some low-frequency # variability may have been removed during correction of these early records. Periods of synchronous decadal variability # were observed between the SPL series and independent dendroclimatic reconstructions from central Europe. The RCS # reconstruction is the first dendroclimatic precipitation reconstruction in Europe to capture low-frequency information. # These long-term trends, however, are difficult to verify owing to the paucity of other proxy precipitation records in # central Europe that portray low-frequency information. Further verification and testing of the RCS reconstruction will # require the development of additional reconstructions from tree-rings (or other proxy data series) that similarly target # low-frequency variability. #------------------- # Site Information # Site_Name: Auergasse 10-2 Regensburg Historical Timbers # Location: Bavaria # Northernmost_Latitude: 49.0167 # Southernmost_Latitude: 49.0167 # Easternmost_Longitude: 12.1 # Westernmost_Longitude: 12.1 # Elevation: #------------------- # Data Collection # Collection_Name: GERM066 # Earliest_Year: 1264 # Most_Recent_Year: 1338 # Time_Unit: AD # Notes: #------------------- # Species # Species_Name: Abies alba Mill. # Common_Name: silver fir # Tree_Species_Code: ABAL #------------------- # Chronology_Information # Chronology: #--------------------- # Variables # Data variables follow that are preceded by '##' in columns one and two. # Variables list, one per line; shortname-tab- components: what, material, error, units, seasonality, archive, detail, method, C or N for Character or Numeric data,additional information) ## age_CE age,,,year Common Era,,tree ring,,,N, ## aur3_raw total ring width ,,,millimeter,,tree ring,,,N,Tree ID: aur3; units are 0.01 mm if end-of-series marker is 999 and 0.001 mm if end-of-series marker is -9999 ## aur4_raw total ring width ,,,millimeter,,tree ring,,,N,Tree ID: aur4; units are 0.01 mm if end-of-series marker is 999 and 0.001 mm if end-of-series marker is -9999 ## aur5_raw total ring width ,,,millimeter,,tree ring,,,N,Tree ID: aur5; units are 0.01 mm if end-of-series marker is 999 and 0.001 mm if end-of-series marker is -9999 ## aur6_raw total ring width ,,,millimeter,,tree ring,,,N,Tree ID: aur6; units are 0.01 mm if end-of-series marker is 999 and 0.001 mm if end-of-series marker is -9999 ## aur7_raw total ring width ,,,millimeter,,tree ring,,,N,Tree ID: aur7; units are 0.01 mm if end-of-series marker is 999 and 0.001 mm if end-of-series marker is -9999 #--------------------- # Data: # Missing_Values: NA age_CE aur3_raw aur4_raw aur5_raw aur6_raw aur7_raw 1264 NaN NaN NaN NaN 2950 1265 NaN NaN NaN NaN 2170 1266 NaN NaN NaN NaN 2780 1267 NaN NaN NaN NaN 2590 1268 NaN NaN NaN NaN 2950 1269 NaN NaN NaN NaN 2910 1270 NaN NaN NaN NaN 1760 1271 NaN NaN NaN NaN 2830 1272 NaN NaN NaN NaN 1970 1273 NaN NaN NaN NaN 2290 1274 NaN NaN NaN NaN 1910 1275 NaN NaN NaN NaN 2300 1276 NaN NaN NaN NaN 1340 1277 NaN NaN NaN NaN 1700 1278 NaN NaN NaN NaN 1050 1279 NaN NaN NaN NaN 890 1280 NaN NaN NaN NaN 970 1281 NaN NaN NaN NaN 670 1282 NaN NaN NaN NaN 670 1283 NaN NaN NaN NaN 600 1284 NaN NaN 2010 NaN 430 1285 NaN NaN 2420 NaN 430 1286 NaN NaN 1930 NaN 520 1287 NaN NaN 1780 NaN 330 1288 NaN NaN 1880 NaN 270 1289 NaN NaN 1630 NaN 220 1290 NaN NaN 2430 NaN 310 1291 NaN NaN 2540 NaN 330 1292 NaN NaN 2310 NaN 260 1293 NaN NaN 2620 NaN 230 1294 NaN NaN 2170 NaN 200 1295 1510 NaN 2630 NaN 380 1296 2210 NaN 2010 NaN 400 1297 2620 NaN 2400 NaN 1600 1298 2480 NaN 2380 NaN 2190 1299 2830 4070 2730 NaN 1830 1300 2300 3480 2250 NaN 1270 1301 1960 3010 2450 NaN 1560 1302 2350 2840 2520 NaN 1920 1303 2610 2620 2150 NaN 1320 1304 2880 3280 2430 NaN 2310 1305 3060 2030 2360 NaN 2000 1306 2270 1730 2060 NaN 1770 1307 2740 2730 2150 NaN 2450 1308 3080 2540 3050 NaN 2960 1309 2420 2610 3100 NaN 2070 1310 3220 2880 2840 NaN 2300 1311 3430 2390 2490 3700 2260 1312 3820 1650 2720 3300 2520 1313 3230 1550 3390 4560 2920 1314 3290 2400 3000 4490 3100 1315 2490 2390 2600 4880 3390 1316 3010 3270 3450 6300 3730 1317 3510 2650 2840 5610 2990 1318 2660 3500 2910 5710 2970 1319 2580 3130 2770 5590 3110 1320 2200 2730 2030 4370 2450 1321 2420 3750 2940 5150 2970 1322 3630 3490 2800 5630 2740 1323 1590 2700 2180 4180 1930 1324 2160 2880 2680 5390 2190 1325 2580 2580 2700 4630 2410 1326 2610 2740 2420 4150 2470 1327 2600 3450 2340 3870 2190 1328 2430 2520 2010 3630 2180 1329 2610 4230 3010 4140 2430 1330 2470 4190 3040 3910 2280 1331 3030 4710 3370 3120 2930 1332 2520 3680 2590 2870 2230 1333 2780 2510 2060 3340 1860 1334 2870 3430 2120 3320 2000 1335 1950 -9999 1860 2140 1740 1336 -9999 NaN 1600 2290 1650 1337 NaN NaN 1740 2310 1690 1338 NaN NaN 2300 -9999 2820
