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: Theresienplatz 40-3 Straubing Historical Timbers # Location: Bavaria # Northernmost_Latitude: 48.8833 # Southernmost_Latitude: 48.8833 # Easternmost_Longitude: 12.5667 # Westernmost_Longitude: 12.5667 # Elevation: #------------------- # Data Collection # Collection_Name: GERM079 # Earliest_Year: 1490 # Most_Recent_Year: 1538 # 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, ## SGG01_raw total ring width ,,,millimeter,,tree ring,,,N,Tree ID: SGG01; units are 0.01 mm if end-of-series marker is 999 and 0.001 mm if end-of-series marker is -9999 ## SGG03_raw total ring width ,,,millimeter,,tree ring,,,N,Tree ID: SGG03; units are 0.01 mm if end-of-series marker is 999 and 0.001 mm if end-of-series marker is -9999 ## SGG22_raw total ring width ,,,millimeter,,tree ring,,,N,Tree ID: SGG22; units are 0.01 mm if end-of-series marker is 999 and 0.001 mm if end-of-series marker is -9999 ## SGG24_raw total ring width ,,,millimeter,,tree ring,,,N,Tree ID: SGG24; 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 SGG01_raw SGG03_raw SGG22_raw SGG24_raw 1490 4689 NaN NaN NaN 1491 3695 NaN 4318 NaN 1492 3516 NaN 4631 NaN 1493 3487 NaN 4119 NaN 1494 2684 NaN 3584 NaN 1495 2877 NaN 4013 NaN 1496 3379 NaN 3806 NaN 1497 2922 NaN 3489 NaN 1498 2873 NaN 2812 NaN 1499 2641 NaN 3455 4320 1500 3252 NaN 3598 6154 1501 2987 NaN 3266 6971 1502 2877 NaN 2720 6680 1503 2035 NaN 1657 6336 1504 1997 4313 1455 4120 1505 2910 4709 2311 4948 1506 3206 5008 2608 5490 1507 3313 4204 2649 4135 1508 3695 5678 2443 5289 1509 2716 4603 2138 4201 1510 2766 4432 3004 5120 1511 2350 4218 2903 5523 1512 2049 4439 2531 5040 1513 1768 4292 2818 4623 1514 1428 2602 1960 4076 1515 1897 2843 2632 3848 1516 1906 2655 2121 3468 1517 1093 2860 2096 2858 1518 1526 3073 1775 3093 1519 1751 2399 2119 2617 1520 2039 2995 2392 3337 1521 1978 3823 2640 3629 1522 1782 2434 1887 3272 1523 1783 2171 1856 3049 1524 2369 2237 2628 3319 1525 2182 1621 1320 2220 1526 2247 1390 1836 1951 1527 3086 1996 2914 3238 1528 2225 1931 2711 2630 1529 2604 2160 2914 2610 1530 2812 2857 2883 2907 1531 2066 2239 2097 2001 1532 2040 1430 1600 1468 1533 2365 1443 1855 2585 1534 2192 1314 1548 1982 1535 2050 1229 1432 1680 1536 1992 1220 1447 -9999 1537 2125 1134 1652 NaN 1538 -9999 1381 1842 NaN
