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: Goldener Turm Regensburg Historical Timbers # Location: Bavaria # Northernmost_Latitude: 49.0167 # Southernmost_Latitude: 49.0167 # Easternmost_Longitude: 12.1 # Westernmost_Longitude: 12.1 # Elevation_m: None #-------------------- # Data_Collection # Collection_Name: GERM080 # First_Year: 1410 # Last_Year: 1455 # 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, ## GFIR2A_raw total ring width,,,millimeter,,tree ring,,,N,Tree ID: GFIR2A; units are 0.01 mm if end-of-series marker is 999 and 0.001 mm if end-of-series marker is -9999 ## GFIR2B_raw total ring width,,,millimeter,,tree ring,,,N,Tree ID: GFIR2B; 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 GFIR2A_raw GFIR2B_raw 1410 4.32 3.601 1411 3.732 3.258 1412 3.164 2.996 1413 3.036 2.803 1414 3.557 4.26 1415 3.38 3.405 1416 3.525 2.614 1417 2.271 1.715 1418 2.317 1.785 1419 2.884 2.189 1420 1.918 1.562 1421 2.991 2.461 1422 2.729 2.449 1423 2.105 1.776 1424 2.229 2.055 1425 2.699 2.6 1426 3.065 3.35 1427 2.728 3.031 1428 2.768 2.884 1429 4.768 4.764 1430 3.111 3.043 1431 3.087 2.863 1432 2.488 2.034 1433 3.236 3.1 1434 2.683 2.527 1435 3.51 2.888 1436 4.548 3.008 1437 4.534 2.856 1438 4.839 3.33 1439 4.275 3.725 1440 1.74 1.68 1441 2.872 2.6 1442 2.735 2.317 1443 1.901 1.469 1444 2.524 1.958 1445 3.329 3.159 1446 3.605 3.637 1447 1.831 2.456 1448 1.562 2.091 1449 1.865 2.711 1450 2.457 2.745 1451 2.425 2.941 1452 NA 2.875 1453 NA 2.184 1454 NA 2.41 1455 NA 1.803
