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: Seminargasse 8 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: GERM097 # Earliest_Year: 1773 # Most_Recent_Year: 1874 # 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, ## SMD03_raw total ring width ,,,millimeter,,tree ring,,,N,Tree ID: SMD03; units are 0.01 mm if end-of-series marker is 999 and 0.001 mm if end-of-series marker is -9999 ## SMD08_raw total ring width ,,,millimeter,,tree ring,,,N,Tree ID: SMD08; units are 0.01 mm if end-of-series marker is 999 and 0.001 mm if end-of-series marker is -9999 ## SMD09_raw total ring width ,,,millimeter,,tree ring,,,N,Tree ID: SMD09; 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 SMD03_raw SMD08_raw SMD09_raw 1773 NaN NaN 3584 1774 3831 NaN 3926 1775 3237 NaN 3398 1776 3115 NaN 3815 1777 3011 NaN 4201 1778 2039 NaN 3081 1779 2098 NaN 3242 1780 1803 NaN 3482 1781 1952 NaN 2597 1782 1884 NaN 3010 1783 2957 NaN 3139 1784 1147 NaN 2050 1785 1484 NaN 2731 1786 1763 NaN 2622 1787 2442 NaN 2961 1788 2613 NaN 2913 1789 1766 NaN 2575 1790 1516 NaN 1605 1791 1707 NaN 2086 1792 1717 NaN 2187 1793 1535 NaN 2113 1794 1326 NaN 2064 1795 1322 NaN 2235 1796 1786 NaN 3013 1797 1176 NaN 2711 1798 1390 NaN 2668 1799 1480 NaN 2343 1800 1311 NaN 1590 1801 1409 NaN 1865 1802 1495 NaN 2162 1803 1439 NaN 2181 1804 1511 NaN 2441 1805 1680 1622 1969 1806 1622 1144 2010 1807 1177 1821 1469 1808 1128 1976 1261 1809 1368 2040 1540 1810 700 3172 1246 1811 827 4365 1244 1812 807 4098 1184 1813 844 4050 1400 1814 950 4309 1456 1815 998 4120 1270 1816 1233 3807 1455 1817 1332 3886 1343 1818 1107 3750 1120 1819 1112 3151 1033 1820 874 1847 841 1821 791 1526 601 1822 874 2569 944 1823 781 2230 789 1824 751 2618 820 1825 828 2416 895 1826 1090 2406 1033 1827 1077 1258 757 1828 1230 1555 854 1829 1178 1756 821 1830 1066 1319 805 1831 1175 2081 898 1832 1175 2087 982 1833 964 1432 687 1834 1003 984 662 1835 930 624 587 1836 869 659 514 1837 867 689 673 1838 942 625 621 1839 977 778 819 1840 1061 889 678 1841 897 786 585 1842 754 570 490 1843 902 581 432 1844 1121 695 538 1845 903 933 561 1846 1189 1090 547 1847 860 512 409 1848 958 754 538 1849 769 670 477 1850 710 661 472 1851 716 658 459 1852 675 646 569 1853 631 809 564 1854 500 449 449 1855 583 687 505 1856 726 813 559 1857 643 625 446 1858 725 633 461 1859 706 969 510 1860 620 794 440 1861 699 874 481 1862 617 490 438 1863 625 844 589 1864 736 767 557 1865 611 -9999 562 1866 676 NaN 445 1867 416 NaN 453 1868 534 NaN 441 1869 485 NaN 326 1870 398 NaN 336 1871 511 NaN 453 1872 390 NaN 442 1873 477 NaN 530 1874 566 NaN 453
