description: File List LI07_charData.csv<br> LI07_charParams.csv<br> LI07_charResults.csv<br> PO07_charData.csv<br> PO07_charParams.csv<br> PO07_charResults.csv<br> RA07_charData.csv<br> RA07_charParams.csv<br> RA07_charResults.csv<br> UC07_charData.csv<br> UC07_charParams.csv<br> UC07_charResults.csv Description For each site, three files provide the raw input data, the parameters used, and the output data for charcoal analysis via the program CharAnalysis (see ‘Methods’ in main text). File names reference site codes: LI (Little Isac), PO (Poktovik), RA (Raven), and UC (Uchugrak). The “*_charResults.csv” files has data on fire return intervals and smoothed fire frequency removed, given that these calculations were done outside of the program and do not reflect the time intervals given in the *_charParams.csv files. Missing values denoted by -9999 (*_charParams.csv) or NaN (*_charResults.csv). **07_charData.csv includes the following <b>raw</b> data (by column): cmTop: top depth (cm) of the sample<br> cmBot: bottom depth (cm) of the sample<br> ageTop: estimated age at top of sample (cal. yr before CE 1950)<br> ageBot: estimated age at bottom of sample (cal. yr before CE 1950)<br> charVol: volume of sediment subsample from which charcoal was prepared (cm<sup>3</sup>)<br> charCount: pieces of charcoal counted in the sample (#) Checksum values:<br> LI07_charData.csv: 192 rows (with headers), 6 columns Column 3 (ageTop (yr BP)): 313963<br> Column 6 (charCount (#)):1586 PO07_charData.csv: 234 rows (with headers), 6 columns Column 3 (ageTop (yr BP)): 438415<br> Column 6 (charCount (#)): 823 RA07_charData.csv: 302 rows (with headers), 6 columns Column 3 (ageTop (yr BP)): 448677<br> Column 6 (charCount (#)): 556 UC07_charData.csv: 393 rows (with headers), 6 columns Column 3 (ageTop (yr BP)): 534182<br> Column 6 (charCount (#)): 543 **07_charParams.csv: See CharAnalysis User’s Guide for description of parameters file, available at the web site linked to above.

If a peak is more than one sample long, then each sample exceeding threshFinal is summed.
