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: Haselbrunweg 4 Bad Abbach Historical Timbers # Location: Bavaria # Northernmost_Latitude: 48.9333 # Southernmost_Latitude: 48.9333 # Easternmost_Longitude: 12.0333 # Westernmost_Longitude: 12.0333 # Elevation: #------------------- # Data Collection # Collection_Name: GERM067 # Earliest_Year: 1748 # Most_Recent_Year: 1802 # 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, ## BAF06A_raw total ring width ,,,millimeter,,tree ring,,,N,Tree ID: BAF06A; units are 0.01 mm if end-of-series marker is 999 and 0.001 mm if end-of-series marker is -9999 ## BAF06B_raw total ring width ,,,millimeter,,tree ring,,,N,Tree ID: BAF06B; 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 BAF06A_raw BAF06B_raw 1748 1388 1517 1749 2564 2571 1750 2320 2560 1751 2295 2404 1752 2176 2316 1753 1943 2026 1754 1988 1591 1755 1799 1643 1756 1429 1397 1757 1245 1275 1758 929 1220 1759 1092 1039 1760 706 702 1761 1138 786 1762 583 434 1763 914 713 1764 834 684 1765 954 769 1766 482 480 1767 801 637 1768 807 529 1769 1001 823 1770 917 809 1771 776 696 1772 838 695 1773 636 458 1774 511 403 1775 598 412 1776 439 315 1777 296 374 1778 233 214 1779 270 222 1780 286 375 1781 219 271 1782 265 242 1783 206 318 1784 215 241 1785 203 289 1786 237 214 1787 310 297 1788 314 228 1789 200 221 1790 132 196 1791 204 237 1792 134 161 1793 142 154 1794 85 109 1795 104 135 1796 136 151 1797 104 118 1798 101 111 1799 110 156 1800 77 74 1801 113 118 1802 165 214
