East Anglia Incident chronology files. The Climatic Research Unit email controversy (dubbed "Climategate" in the media) began in November 2009 with the Internet leak of thousands of emails and other documents from the University of East Anglia's Climatic Research Unit out of a server hacking. Among these documents some "classical" european oak chronologies became available to anybody interested.
These chronology files are found in the FOIA-file available at several places on the net: search for e.g.: "FOIA/documents/briffa-treering-external/belfast/masters/". An appended comment dated March 1995 classifies these files as "Modern European Ring Width Masters". So at that time they were considered "state of the art".
All these files have extension .dat in their names. If this is changed into ".datw" they can easily be read by CDendro through the command Samples/Open ring width files. The end-year number of each series is available at the end of the files and can be found with a text editor. After being dated by year in CDendro such a file can best be saved in .wid format and then possibly as a member of a master file collection saved in e.g. a Heidelberg type file (.fh).
