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. #-------------------- # Funding_Agency # Funding_Agency_Name: # Grant: #-------------------- # Site_Information # Site_Name: Haselbrunweg 4 Bad Abbach Historical Timbers # Location: Bavaria # Northernmost_Latitude: 48.9333 # Southernmost_Latitude: 48.9333 # Easternmost_Longitude: 12.0333 # Westernmost_Longitude: 12.0333 # Elevation_m: None #-------------------- # Data_Collection # Collection_Name: GERM067 # First_Year: 1748 # Last_Year: 1802 # Time_Unit: CE # Core_Length_m: # Parameter_Keywords: ring width # Notes: #-------------------- # Species # Species_Name: Abies alba Mill. # Common_Name: silver fir # Tree_Species_Code: ABAL #-------------------- # Variables # # PaST_Thesaurus_Download_Resource: https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/access/paleo-search/skos/past-thesaurus.rdf # PaST_Thesaurus_Download_Description: Paleoenvironmental Standard Terms (PaST) Thesaurus terms, definitions, and relationships in SKOS format. # # Data variables follow that are preceded by '##' in columns one and two. # Variables format: shortname-tab-var components: what, material, error, units, seasonality, data type, detail, method, C or N for Character or Numeric data) # ## age_CE age,,,year Common Era,,tree ring,,,N, ## BAF06A_raw total ring width,,,millimeter,,tree ring,,,N,Tree ID: BAF06A; units are 0.01 mm if end-of-series marker is 999 and 0.001 mm if end-of-series marker is -9999 ## BAF06B_raw total ring width,,,millimeter,,tree ring,,,N,Tree ID: BAF06B; 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 BAF06A_raw BAF06B_raw 1748 1.388 1.517 1749 2.564 2.571 1750 2.32 2.56 1751 2.295 2.404 1752 2.176 2.316 1753 1.943 2.026 1754 1.988 1.591 1755 1.799 1.643 1756 1.429 1.397 1757 1.245 1.275 1758 0.929 1.22 1759 1.092 1.039 1760 0.706 0.702 1761 1.138 0.786 1762 0.583 0.434 1763 0.914 0.713 1764 0.834 0.684 1765 0.954 0.769 1766 0.482 0.48 1767 0.801 0.637 1768 0.807 0.529 1769 1.001 0.823 1770 0.917 0.809 1771 0.776 0.696 1772 0.838 0.695 1773 0.636 0.458 1774 0.511 0.403 1775 0.598 0.412 1776 0.439 0.315 1777 0.296 0.374 1778 0.233 0.214 1779 0.27 0.222 1780 0.286 0.375 1781 0.219 0.271 1782 0.265 0.242 1783 0.206 0.318 1784 0.215 0.241 1785 0.203 0.289 1786 0.237 0.214 1787 0.31 0.297 1788 0.314 0.228 1789 0.2 0.221 1790 0.132 0.196 1791 0.204 0.237 1792 0.134 0.161 1793 0.142 0.154 1794 0.085 0.109 1795 0.104 0.135 1796 0.136 0.151 1797 0.104 0.118 1798 0.101 0.111 1799 0.11 0.156 1800 0.077 0.074 1801 0.113 0.118 1802 0.165 0.214
