SNorwQ
SNorwQ is an oak reference for southern Norway AD 1333-2006. It consists of selected samples from two internet sources. Most of the recent trees (about 70) are from ITRDB (.cat-files) ftp://ftp.ncdc.noaa.gov/pub/data/paleo/treering/updates/contributions/christensen_denmark_oak/norge/ By Kjeld Christensen and Kent Havemann. The files used are those from the southernmost fylken (counties) of Norway, Aust Agder and Vest Agder. Some recent samples and all the historical are from several dendrochronological dating reports mainly by Claudia Baittinger and Orla Hylleberg Eriksen at the Danish National Museum i Copenhagen (in cooperation with Norwegian antiquarian authorities in Vest Agder Fylke), available at http://www.nnu.dk/dendro/dendrorapsdk.htm (and http://www.vaf.no/hoved.aspx?m=1331&amid=6707 )(PDF-files i Danish, see detailed list below). All samples selected for SNorwQ have been individually scrutinized before they were added to the collection.
The main reason for collecting all those samples, was to create a south Norwegian master chronology. Especially in this perspective we really appreciate the great generosity of the Danish National Museum, who do share their data in a way which invites us as outsiders to participate and to construct our own references based on their data. Although our SNorwQ reference surely is a lot weaker (and shorter?) than the reference the Museum has built, it will be of great value in helping us recognize Norwegian wood, e.g. in the former Danish/Norwegian provinces in southern and western Sweden, or just to get an idea about "the dendrochronological distance" to this area during different time spans. In the reports as well as in the ITRDB it is stated that the material may be used freely as long as the publications are referred to, and the authors are acknowledged. This seems to be compatible with the CC-BY-SA license used by this wiki.

List of samples from NNU-reports used. In some reports the ring width measurment data are given in numerical form, in others in form of curve diagram which can be retrieved but not without some data degeneration. In some the same data is given in both forms. In those cases the numerical data is used. Note that some samples has been truncated.

The data retrieving process
In some reports the data is in a .fh-like (or Tucson-like format) which needs some manual editing to become readable by CDendro. A majority of the reports contain data as curve diagrams in various resolutions, in many cases excellent, in other rather bad. To extract good images from the pdf-files GSview was used.[31] Data from such curve diagrams could rather easily and usually with really good precision be retrieved using CooRecorder, see Danish National Museum, for detalis. The method used for retrieving the data from those diagrams having just "1" as y-axis label, was afterwards found to be a bit more complicated than necessary. Just using the CooRecorder calibration label "SCALE 0.535 1 Log" would have given the same result. The optimal label, however, for those curves are "SCALE 0.52 1 Log". The difference between the used label and the optimal one leads to a small underestimation of the widest rings and a small overestimation of the narrowest rings, -6% for ring of 4 mm width and +5.5% for rings at 0.3 mm. Rings of 1 mm will be correctly estimated). This divergence will be of very small, if any, relevance as far as the collection is used for cross dating purpose only.
The diagrams of a few reports have two y-axis labels given in 1/100 mm, e.g 20 and 200 (i.e 0.20 mm and 2.00 mm), are not affected by this problem.
