Sentences with phrase «ring measurement series»

The signal - free concept stems from the observation that individual tree - ring measurement series represent a mixture of potential growth influences, among which are included first, that of climate variability through time and second, that of changing allocation processes and tree geometry that both affect the size of annual stem increments.

Not exact matches

Continuous series of tree - ring dated wood samples have been obtained for roughly the past 10,000 years which give the approximate correct radiocarbon age, demonstrating the general validity of the conventional radiocarbon dating technique.Several long tree - ring chronologies have been constructed specifically for use in calibrating the radiocarbon time scale.Some may have mistaken this to mean that the sample had been dated to 20,000 radiocarbon years.The second characteristic of the measurement of radiocarbon is that it is easy to contaminate a sample which contains very little radiocarbon with enough radiocarbon from the research environment to give it an apparent radiocarbon age which is much less than its actual radiocarbon age.
