Nobody tried to "hide" the divergence problem (a problem with tree-ring maximum latewood density as used by Briffa and collaborators).
Proxy data with at least decadal resolution were used, including tree-ring widths (TRW), tree-ring maximum latewood density (MXD), tree-ring isotopes, historical documentary data, ice cores, speleothems, lake sediments, and marine data.
Here we have shown that the highest correlation exists between maximum latewood density and temperature of late summer months.
Taking wood anatomy into account, maximum latewood density is more dependent on the cell wall thickness than on cell size in the latewood (Wimmer and Grabner, 2000).
This paper presents a multi-century, maximum latewood density (MXD) chronology developed from living and sub-fossil spruce trees from the Eastern Alps.
In comparison to the studies based on the measurements of annual tree-ring width (TRW), maximum latewood density (MXD) chronologies demonstrate significantly higher correlation coefficients with climatic parameters and this strong relationship refers to a longer period within a growing season (Briffa et al., 1992b, 1994, 1998c).

Strong episodes of cooling are recorded in European36 or north Fennoscandian37 tree-ring proxies of maximum-latewood density chronologies in AD 536, 541 and 543 544 (Fig. 4C).
Solar radiation (this study) and north Fennoscandian summer (June August (JJA)) temperature, based on the maximum-latewood density (MXD) chronologies37, were centered on 11 large volcanic eruptions of the past 200 years34.
More detailed investigation is required in order to better understand the relationship between ring width and wood density, particularly how within-ring density components (i.e., earlywood density, latewood density, and latewood percentage) are affected by ring width.
Summer temperature has been observed to be positively associated with latewood proportion and average latewood density in a range of species, including Douglas-fir (Filipescu et al. 2014; Jordan et al. 2008; Kantavichai et al. 2010a; Wilhelmsson et al. 2002; Wimmer and Grabner 2000).
In this case, light-ring years were classified as those years when at least 5% of trees were characterised by the apparent decline of latewood density.
