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: Anwesen Sigl Schoenberg Historical Timbers # Location: Bavaria # Northernmost_Latitude: 48.85 # Southernmost_Latitude: 48.85 # Easternmost_Longitude: 12.4 # Westernmost_Longitude: 12.4 # Elevation: #------------------- # Data Collection # Collection_Name: GERM095 # Earliest_Year: 1757 # Most_Recent_Year: 1844 # 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, ## FSB03_raw total ring width ,,,millimeter,,tree ring,,,N,Tree ID: FSB03; units are 0.01 mm if end-of-series marker is 999 and 0.001 mm if end-of-series marker is -9999 ## FSB06_raw total ring width ,,,millimeter,,tree ring,,,N,Tree ID: FSB06; units are 0.01 mm if end-of-series marker is 999 and 0.001 mm if end-of-series marker is -9999 ## FSB09_raw total ring width ,,,millimeter,,tree ring,,,N,Tree ID: FSB09; 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 FSB03_raw FSB06_raw FSB09_raw 1757 NaN 1874 NaN 1758 NaN 1425 NaN 1759 NaN 2295 NaN 1760 NaN 2673 NaN 1761 NaN 2939 NaN 1762 NaN 2095 NaN 1763 NaN 2725 NaN 1764 NaN 2532 NaN 1765 3687 2554 NaN 1766 3328 2558 NaN 1767 4169 2948 NaN 1768 2566 2452 NaN 1769 3578 3005 NaN 1770 3283 3070 NaN 1771 2986 2182 NaN 1772 3286 3428 NaN 1773 2380 2503 NaN 1774 3652 2762 NaN 1775 2812 2915 NaN 1776 3187 2442 NaN 1777 1713 1725 NaN 1778 600 1873 NaN 1779 836 2614 NaN 1780 1727 2698 NaN 1781 1531 2186 2914 1782 1660 2229 3110 1783 1848 2991 3540 1784 884 1876 2996 1785 1696 2160 2692 1786 1722 2777 3192 1787 2046 2246 3454 1788 1137 2547 3385 1789 362 1761 2421 1790 219 1255 2562 1791 322 1594 3009 1792 486 1600 2941 1793 721 1567 3045 1794 588 807 2705 1795 915 1153 2648 1796 1514 1248 2822 1797 520 893 1312 1798 957 1385 1816 1799 1496 1823 1853 1800 681 822 1204 1801 1263 1016 1802 1802 1358 935 1712 1803 965 649 1519 1804 1463 942 1876 1805 1588 563 1995 1806 1193 528 1575 1807 1176 516 1704 1808 1517 462 1455 1809 1510 498 1688 1810 1482 363 1362 1811 1324 527 1209 1812 1172 425 954 1813 1712 571 1181 1814 1666 730 1266 1815 1316 758 1336 1816 1572 710 1417 1817 1042 491 1344 1818 859 339 1031 1819 1224 621 1797 1820 669 416 919 1821 755 477 998 1822 1036 423 1193 1823 823 333 1170 1824 786 362 1209 1825 784 365 1026 1826 908 443 1302 1827 562 451 1126 1828 737 523 1074 1829 955 444 1223 1830 593 366 993 1831 653 377 1653 1832 1373 449 1601 1833 1233 -9999 1233 1834 1464 NaN 1347 1835 1300 NaN 950 1836 1646 NaN 926 1837 1567 NaN 478 1838 2124 NaN 716 1839 2716 NaN 1189 1840 3135 NaN 1817 1841 1476 NaN 1942 1842 1073 NaN 1866 1843 1391 NaN -9999 1844 1267 NaN NaN
