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: Stadturm 1 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: GERM100 # Earliest_Year: 1508 # Most_Recent_Year: 1579 # 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, ## FSS04_raw total ring width ,,,millimeter,,tree ring,,,N,Tree ID: FSS04; units are 0.01 mm if end-of-series marker is 999 and 0.001 mm if end-of-series marker is -9999 ## FSS05_raw total ring width ,,,millimeter,,tree ring,,,N,Tree ID: FSS05; units are 0.01 mm if end-of-series marker is 999 and 0.001 mm if end-of-series marker is -9999 ## FSS32_raw total ring width ,,,millimeter,,tree ring,,,N,Tree ID: FSS32; 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 FSS04_raw FSS05_raw FSS32_raw 1508 NaN 1033 NaN 1509 NaN 1148 NaN 1510 NaN 813 NaN 1511 NaN 623 NaN 1512 NaN 388 NaN 1513 NaN 419 NaN 1514 2251 471 NaN 1515 2778 524 NaN 1516 2645 410 NaN 1517 1953 232 NaN 1518 2647 680 NaN 1519 2747 762 NaN 1520 2426 661 NaN 1521 2782 646 NaN 1522 2021 291 NaN 1523 1328 294 NaN 1524 1769 440 NaN 1525 1559 119 NaN 1526 1703 511 NaN 1527 2163 443 NaN 1528 2190 416 NaN 1529 1837 799 NaN 1530 2077 927 NaN 1531 1998 903 NaN 1532 1770 608 NaN 1533 2125 761 NaN 1534 1791 582 NaN 1535 1736 659 NaN 1536 1582 550 NaN 1537 1246 793 NaN 1538 1852 522 3859 1539 1623 922 4618 1540 1172 544 2677 1541 1147 370 3354 1542 1644 608 4529 1543 1004 613 3126 1544 1121 423 2192 1545 1347 864 3230 1546 1171 497 2466 1547 1359 594 2259 1548 1299 611 1846 1549 1430 663 2523 1550 1497 828 2585 1551 1178 985 2468 1552 1224 621 2063 1553 1088 1439 3079 1554 721 1059 2180 1555 1090 1911 2846 1556 715 1501 1612 1557 691 2138 2248 1558 1133 2589 3712 1559 873 1892 2034 1560 980 1488 1589 1561 674 1582 1350 1562 868 1882 1655 1563 959 1995 2171 1564 1095 1381 1591 1565 565 1414 1887 1566 1094 1668 1973 1567 905 1317 1239 1568 1107 1475 1925 1569 1105 1231 1349 1570 1293 1613 2034 1571 875 1187 1016 1572 622 1131 1435 1573 664 1312 2637 1574 638 1800 2688 1575 834 1812 2028 1576 576 1280 1141 1577 890 1852 1308 1578 787 1109 1455 1579 1100 1590 1973
