International Journal of Climatology, 25: 611-630. # Abstract: This paper presents a 500 year March-August precipitation reconstruction for the Bavarian Forest region of southeast # Germany based on a composite, well-replicated data set of 676 living and historical tree-ring width series from Norway # spruce. 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: Anwesen Sigl Schoenberg Historical Timbers # Location: Bavaria # Northernmost_Latitude: 48.85 # Southernmost_Latitude: 48.85 # Easternmost_Longitude: 12.4 # Westernmost_Longitude: 12.4 # Elevation_m: None #-------------------- # Data_Collection # Collection_Name: GERM095 # First_Year: 1757 # Last_Year: 1844 # 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, ## FSB03_raw total ring width,,,millimeter,,tree ring,,,N,Tree ID: FSB03; units are 0.01 mm if end-of-series marker is 999 and 0.001 mm if end-of-series marker is -9999 ## FSB06_raw total ring width,,,millimeter,,tree ring,,,N,Tree ID: FSB06; units are 0.01 mm if end-of-series marker is 999 and 0.001 mm if end-of-series marker is -9999 ## FSB09_raw total ring width,,,millimeter,,tree ring,,,N,Tree ID: FSB09; 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 FSB03_raw FSB06_raw FSB09_raw 1757 NA 1.874 NA 1758 NA 1.425 NA 1759 NA 2.295 NA 1760 NA 2.673 NA 1761 NA 2.939 NA 1762 NA 2.095 NA 1763 NA 2.725 NA 1764 NA 2.532 NA 1765 3.687 2.554 NA 1766 3.328 2.558 NA 1767 4.169 2.948 NA 1768 2.566 2.452 NA 1769 3.578 3.005 NA 1770 3.283 3.07 NA 1771 2.986 2.182 NA 1772 3.286 3.428 NA 1773 2.38 2.503 NA 1774 3.652 2.762 NA 1775 2.812 2.915 NA 1776 3.187 2.442 NA 1777 1.713 1.725 NA 1778 0.6 1.873 NA 1779 0.836 2.614 NA 1780 1.727 2.698 NA 1781 1.531 2.186 2.914 1782 1.66 2.229 3.11 1783 1.848 2.991 3.54 1784 0.884 1.876 2.996 1785 1.696 2.16 2.692 1786 1.722 2.777 3.192 1787 2.046 2.246 3.454 1788 1.137 2.547 3.385 1789 0.362 1.761 2.421 1790 0.219 1.255 2.562 1791 0.322 1.594 3.009 1792 0.486 1.6 2.941 1793 0.721 1.567 3.045 1794 0.588 0.807 2.705 1795 0.915 1.153 2.648 1796 1.514 1.248 2.822 1797 0.52 0.893 1.312 1798 0.957 1.385 1.816 1799 1.496 1.823 1.853 1800 0.681 0.822 1.204 1801 1.263 1.016 1.802 1802 1.358 0.935 1.712 1803 0.965 0.649 1.519 1804 1.463 0.942 1.876 1805 1.588 0.563 1.995 1806 1.193 0.528 1.575 1807 1.176 0.516 1.704 1808 1.517 0.462 1.455 1809 1.51 0.498 1.688 1810 1.482 0.363 1.362 1811 1.324 0.527 1.209 1812 1.172 0.425 0.954 1813 1.712 0.571 1.181 1814 1.666 0.73 1.266 1815 1.316 0.758 1.336 1816 1.572 0.71 1.417 1817 1.042 0.491 1.344 1818 0.859 0.339 1.031 1819 1.224 0.621 1.797 1820 0.669 0.416 0.919 1821 0.755 0.477 0.998 1822 1.036 0.423 1.193 1823 0.823 0.333 1.17 1824 0.786 0.362 1.209 1825 0.784 0.365 1.026 1826 0.908 0.443 1.302 1827 0.562 0.451 1.126 1828 0.737 0.523 1.074 1829 0.955 0.444 1.223 1830 0.593 0.366 0.993 1831 0.653 0.377 1.653 1832 1.373 0.449 1.601 1833 1.233 NA 1.233 1834 1.464 NA 1.347 1835 1.3 NA 0.95 1836 1.646 NA 0.926 1837 1.567 NA 0.478 1838 2.124 NA 0.716 1839 2.716 NA 1.189 1840 3.135 NA 1.817 1841 1.476 NA 1.942 1842 1.073 NA 1.866 1843 1.391 NA NA 1844 1.267 NA NA
