Abstract
Tree-ring chronologies are often calibrated against instrumental climate records using correlation and response functions. DENDROCLIM2002 uses bootstrapped confidence intervals to estimate the significance of both correlation and response function coefficients. Input and output file selection, as well as analytical options, are chosen from a user-friendly GUI. Final results are saved in ASCII format, and are plotted on screen using color-coded symbols. DENDROCLIM2002 is an extension of existing task-specific software, which is mostly MS-DOS based, and of available user-supplied code for statistical packages, such as SAS. In addition, DENDROCLIM2002 incorporates the ability to test for temporal changes of dendroclimatic relationships by means of evolutionary and moving intervals. This simple approach allows for a complete, dynamical representation of statistical relationships between climate and tree growth. An example using published dendroclimatic data is used to illustrate the analytical and graphical capabilities of the software.
