Slovakian Tree Ring Chronology from 101 to -15 BP

NOAA/WDS Paleoclimatology archives a tree ring chronology dataset from the Schalderertal site in Slovakia. The data covers the period from 101 to -15 calendar years before present. This study was published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information in 1965.

Use Cases

• Reconstruct past temperature or precipitation anomalies using annual tree ring width measurements.
• Calibrate climate models by comparing the tree ring chronology with other proxy records for the 101 to -15 BP period.
• Analyze growth patterns and extreme events recorded in the tree ring data from the Slovakian site.

Strengths

• Data spans 116 years of calendar years before present (101 to -15 BP).
• Sourced from the authoritative NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI).

Limitations

• The dataset's last known update was in 1965, indicating potentially outdated collection or processing methods.
• Specific sample size, measurement parameters, and data formats are not provided in the available metadata.
