Tree ring data from La Tasajera in the San Pedro Martir mountains of Baja California Norte, Mexico, provides a paleoclimate record. The chronology spans 435 years, from 390 to -45 calendar years before present. The data is archived by NOAA's National Centers for Environmental Information.
Use Cases
- Reconstructing past precipitation patterns using tree ring width measurements.
- Analyzing climate variability over a 435-year period using the annual chronology.
- Calibrating regional paleoclimate models with the dated tree ring series.
- Studying the response of this forest ecosystem to historical climate events.
Strengths
- Chronology spans 435 calendar years.
