Calibration of the radiocarbon time scale for the Southern Hemisphere: AD 1850-950

Abstract

We have conducted a series of radiocarbon measurements on decadal samples of dendrochronologically dated wood from both hemispheres, spanning 1000 years (McCormac et al. 1998; Hogg et al. this issue). Using the data presented in Hogg et al., we show that during the period AD 950–1850 the 14 C offset between the hemispheres is not constant, but varies periodically (∼130 yr periodicity) with amplitudes varying between 1 and 10% (i.e. 8–80 yr), with a consequent effect on the 14 C calibration of material from the Southern Hemisphere. A large increase in the offset occurs between AD 1245 and 1355. In this paper, we present a Southern Hemisphere high-precision calibration data set (SHCal02) that comprises measurements from New Zealand, Chile, and South Africa. This data, and a new value of 41 ± 14 yr for correction of the IntCal98 data for the period outside the range given here, is proposed for use in calibrating Southern Hemisphere 14 C dates.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • The hemispheric offset exists because the greater extent of ocean in the Southern Hemisphere leads to greater exchange of CO2 between ocean and atmosphere, and the offset varies over time rather than staying constant.

    “This difference exists because the greater extent of ocean in the Southern Hemisphere leads to a greater exchange of CO 2 between ocean and atmosphere compared to the Northern Hemisphere.This produces an offset between calibrated ages, which varies over time rather than staying constant (McCormac et al. 2002).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
