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: Schwarze-baeren Str. 6 Regensburg Timbers # Location: Bavaria # Northernmost_Latitude: 49.0167 # Southernmost_Latitude: 49.0167 # Easternmost_Longitude: 12.1 # Westernmost_Longitude: 12.1 # Elevation: #------------------- # Data Collection # Collection_Name: GERM096 # Earliest_Year: 1538 # Most_Recent_Year: 1625 # 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, ## scz01_raw total ring width ,,,millimeter,,tree ring,,,N,Tree ID: scz01; units are 0.01 mm if end-of-series marker is 999 and 0.001 mm if end-of-series marker is -9999 ## scz02_raw total ring width ,,,millimeter,,tree ring,,,N,Tree ID: scz02; units are 0.01 mm if end-of-series marker is 999 and 0.001 mm if end-of-series marker is -9999 ## scz3_raw total ring width ,,,millimeter,,tree ring,,,N,Tree ID: scz3; units are 0.01 mm if end-of-series marker is 999 and 0.001 mm if end-of-series marker is -9999 ## scz4_raw total ring width ,,,millimeter,,tree ring,,,N,Tree ID: scz4; units are 0.01 mm if end-of-series marker is 999 and 0.001 mm if end-of-series marker is -9999 ## scz5_raw total ring width ,,,millimeter,,tree ring,,,N,Tree ID: scz5; 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 scz01_raw scz02_raw scz3_raw scz4_raw scz5_raw 1538 3430 NaN NaN NaN NaN 1539 4050 NaN NaN NaN NaN 1540 2630 NaN NaN NaN NaN 1541 2380 NaN NaN NaN NaN 1542 4310 NaN NaN NaN NaN 1543 3700 NaN NaN NaN NaN 1544 3110 NaN NaN NaN NaN 1545 3140 2200 NaN NaN NaN 1546 2050 1010 NaN NaN NaN 1547 2850 1730 NaN NaN NaN 1548 2540 1440 NaN NaN NaN 1549 2490 1790 NaN NaN NaN 1550 2910 2220 NaN NaN NaN 1551 2440 1220 NaN NaN NaN 1552 2200 1430 NaN NaN NaN 1553 2660 2100 NaN NaN NaN 1554 2480 1010 NaN NaN NaN 1555 2870 1660 NaN NaN NaN 1556 2380 1320 NaN NaN NaN 1557 2400 1310 NaN NaN NaN 1558 3040 2070 NaN NaN NaN 1559 2180 820 NaN NaN NaN 1560 1320 910 NaN NaN NaN 1561 2460 1120 NaN NaN NaN 1562 2510 850 NaN NaN NaN 1563 3340 1360 NaN NaN NaN 1564 2930 1170 NaN NaN 1720 1565 2310 1840 NaN NaN 2380 1566 2250 1820 NaN NaN 2040 1567 1700 1220 NaN NaN 1460 1568 1960 1300 NaN NaN 1490 1569 1550 1110 NaN NaN 1300 1570 1800 1910 NaN NaN 1780 1571 850 1030 NaN NaN 1180 1572 860 1440 NaN NaN 1530 1573 1260 1800 NaN NaN 1970 1574 750 2140 NaN NaN 2220 1575 430 2180 NaN NaN 2300 1576 40 970 NaN NaN 1420 1577 250 1350 NaN NaN 1650 1578 260 1290 NaN NaN 1270 1579 100 1530 NaN NaN 1560 1580 170 1160 1020 NaN 1370 1581 180 1170 1130 NaN 1240 1582 140 1040 1140 NaN 1090 1583 200 850 1330 NaN 870 1584 60 760 2620 2190 730 1585 90 870 3910 3530 870 1586 200 1270 4050 2810 1200 1587 130 790 3620 2330 840 1588 150 1120 3710 3280 1360 1589 240 1000 3560 3230 1060 1590 260 800 1850 1890 750 1591 240 700 1710 2090 740 1592 300 1050 3630 3230 780 1593 370 1090 2920 2670 800 1594 380 1280 2640 2760 1010 1595 240 1080 2110 2100 940 1596 300 1080 2670 2910 1050 1597 310 1640 2790 3140 1570 1598 350 1340 2840 2960 1340 1599 400 1040 2690 2590 1280 1600 380 1130 2410 2440 1170 1601 530 1490 2530 2440 1470 1602 560 1380 2850 2520 1280 1603 410 570 1370 1470 530 1604 460 970 2180 1780 840 1605 460 1530 2630 2650 1240 1606 490 1210 3000 2690 1040 1607 550 1420 3340 2540 1090 1608 390 590 1850 1370 650 1609 580 1200 3520 2870 1310 1610 550 790 2690 2620 1060 1611 640 890 2720 2390 970 1612 580 740 2360 2290 740 1613 650 1170 3220 3670 1020 1614 590 1010 2620 3420 1030 1615 590 2050 3520 3240 1450 1616 350 910 1700 1610 710 1617 340 500 1920 1920 520 1618 380 850 2440 1950 910 1619 520 820 2250 2290 950 1620 430 850 2700 4120 990 1621 460 850 2430 2830 950 1622 560 1190 2550 5360 1140 1623 -9999 790 1910 -9999 890 1624 NaN 530 1130 NaN 610 1625 NaN 690 2050 NaN 800
