date: Fri Jun 12 15:40:39 1998 from: Keith Briffa subject: Re: tree ring data to: "Karin A. KOINIG" Dear Karin I enclose the data that make up our Figure 1. Note the different columns represent the actual sigma data and the temperatute estimates based on them as described in the paper. I can send a more local curve later if you wish but this will have to be constructed by weighted averaging of the existing area curves. There are other temperature proxies for the Alps which are not included here - tree rings by Holzhauser etc. Bset wishes for now Keith Year NHD1 NHLMT(est.)
