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: Marschall str. 10c 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: GERM085 # Earliest_Year: 1626 # Most_Recent_Year: 1698 # 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, ## MARS9A_raw total ring width ,,,millimeter,,tree ring,,,N,Tree ID: MARS9A; units are 0.01 mm if end-of-series marker is 999 and 0.001 mm if end-of-series marker is -9999 ## MARS9B_raw total ring width ,,,millimeter,,tree ring,,,N,Tree ID: MARS9B; 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 MARS9A_raw MARS9B_raw 1626 2714 2774 1627 4212 3878 1628 4788 4442 1629 3525 3377 1630 2944 2522 1631 2045 1971 1632 3136 2541 1633 2838 2180 1634 2771 2076 1635 2356 2026 1636 1129 933 1637 1442 1596 1638 1707 1420 1639 2434 2070 1640 3379 3197 1641 2362 2096 1642 2606 2311 1643 2191 1877 1644 1994 1717 1645 1823 1729 1646 2359 2067 1647 1492 1100 1648 880 766 1649 1809 1692 1650 1698 1533 1651 1644 1349 1652 2264 1763 1653 1480 1178 1654 2390 1526 1655 2296 1604 1656 1572 1275 1657 2340 1706 1658 1932 1435 1659 2241 1528 1660 2118 1448 1661 1980 1458 1662 2337 1906 1663 1960 1873 1664 1896 1498 1665 1634 1246 1666 1259 1076 1667 1161 1217 1668 1723 1618 1669 1180 1128 1670 1244 -9999 1671 1227 NaN 1672 994 NaN 1673 1762 NaN 1674 1229 NaN 1675 1722 NaN 1676 1227 NaN 1677 1016 NaN 1678 1291 NaN 1679 864 NaN 1680 991 NaN 1681 832 NaN 1682 1378 NaN 1683 725 NaN 1684 612 NaN 1685 840 NaN 1686 1104 NaN 1687 703 NaN 1688 1222 NaN 1689 757 NaN 1690 1153 NaN 1691 876 NaN 1692 729 NaN 1693 1391 NaN 1694 935 NaN 1695 829 NaN 1696 922 NaN 1697 828 NaN 1698 1014 NaN
