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.

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.
Today we have more accurate
series for atmospheric d13C changes than tree
rings: ice cores, firn air and direct
measurements give a smooth (be it filtered ~ 8 years) indication of historical d13C levels.
The decline in δ13C up to 1930 observed in several
series of tree -
ring measurements has exceeded that anticipated from the input of fossil fuel CO2 to the atmosphere, leading to suggestions of an additional input ‰) during the late nineteenth / early twentieth century.
They constructed a 400 year long tree
ring dataset and tested its reliability by comparing the
series to in situ - temperature
measurements between 1879 and 1992, which are mainly originated from the Indian Embassy.
«These authors [Hantemirov and Shiyatov] state that their data (derived mainly from
measurements of relic wood dating back over more than 2,000 years) included 17
ring - width

TSAP was designed as a platform for
