Entity_and_Attribute_Overview:

This data package has 2 data files, both of which are ASCII text files.

DATAFILE: la002.txt
This ASCII .txt file contains fire scar measurement and tree ring measurements from trees at Kisatchie Hills, Louisiana. This data file has three sections.

Section 1:
The first section contains general information, regarding authors, location, and reference materials.

Section 2:
The second section contains data regarding correlation of series by segments. The correlations are 50 year dated segments, lagged 25 years. They contain a sequence number which numbers each sample. It also has a series number which is a six digit phrase of numbers and letters signifying the sampling station and a time span between the years which the samples are dated. The standard format is:
Columns 1-3 = sequence number.
Columns 4-10 = the series number of the tree, KHW signifies the tree is from the Kisatchie Hills station and the numbers and letters further denote a specific sample.
Columns 11-22 = the time spans of the measurements, containing a starting year and an ending year.
Columns 23-28 = the measurements for the years 1575-1624.
Columns 29-33 = the measurements for the years 1600-1649.
Columns 34-38 = the measurements for the years 1625-1674.
Columns 39-43 = the measurements for the years 1650-1699.
Columns 44-48 = the measurements for the years 1675-1724.
Columns 49-53 = the measurements for the years 1700-1749.
Columns 54-58 = the measurements for the years 1725-1774.
Columns 59-63 = the measurements for the years 1750-1799.
Columns 64-68 = the measurements for the years 1775-1824.
Columns 69-73 = the measurements for the years 1800-1849.
Columns 74-78 = the measurements for the years 1825-1874.
Columns 79-83 = the measurements for the years 1850-1899.
Columns 84-88 = the measurements for the years 1875-1924.
Columns 89-93 = the measurements for the years 1900-1949.
Columns 94-98 = the measurements for the years 1925-1974.
Columns 99-103 = the measurements for the years 1950-1999.
Columns 104-108 = the measurements for the years 1975-2024.
Columns 109-124 contain no data.

Section 3:
The third data section contains the descriptive statistics. The standard format is:
Columns 1-3 = sequence number.
Columns 4-10 = series number.
Columns 11-22 = the interval of years the sample was taken.
Columns 23-29 = number of years in the interval.
Columns 30-36 = number of segments taken.
Columns 37-43 = number of flags.
Columns 44-52 = correlation with master.
Columns 53-59 = unfiltered mean measurement.
Columns 60-66 = unfiltered maximum measurement.
Columns 67-73 = unfiltered standard deviation.
Columns 74-80 = unfiltered auto correlation.
Columns 81-87 = mean sens.
Columns 88-94 = filtered maximum value.
Columns 95-102 = filtered standard deviation.
Columns 103-109 = filtered auto correlation.
Columns 110-113 = filtered AR.



DATAFILE: la002.rwl
This ASCII .txt file contains the measurements in units of .01 millimeters (mm) of the thickness of tree ring width for each year. Each file consists of all the measurements for a given site. There are 2 sections to this data file.

Section 1:
The first section consists of 3 rows that contain basic information about the data file.
Row 1 =
Column 1-6 = Site ID.
Column 10-61 = Site name.
Column 62-65 = Species code and optional ID numbers.

Row 2 =
Column 1-6 = Site ID.
Column 10-22 = State or Country.
Column 23-30 = Species.
Column 41-45 = Elevation (m=meters).
Column 48-57 = The latitude and longitude of the site.
Column 68-76 = 1st and last year measured.

Row 3 =
Column 1-6 = Site ID.
Column 10-72 = Name of lead investigator.
Column 73-80 = Completion date.

Section 2:
The section contains measurements in units of 0.01 mm of the thickness of tree ring width for each year. Each file consists of all the measurements for a given site. As many as 50 Core ID numbers and 50 data series may comprise one (site) file. Missing value code is 999 or blanks. The 10 values following the decade are the 10 annual measurements for the 10 years of that decade. The format is:
Columns 1-6 = Core ID number.
Columns 9-12 = Decade.
Columns 13-72 = Annual tree ring widths (0.01 mm) for the 10 years of the specified decade.
