Argentine Tree Ring Chronology from Bahia del Buen Suceso

Tree ring data from Bahia del Buen Suceso, Argentina, spans 235 years from 199 to -36 calendar years before present (BP). The data is archived by NOAA's National Centers for Environmental Information under the World Data Service for Paleoclimatology. The study was last updated in January 1986.

Use Cases

• Reconstruct annual climate conditions like temperature or precipitation using tree ring width measurements.
• Calibrate regional dendrochronological sequences by crossdating this chronology with other Argentine tree ring records.
• Analyze climate variability over a 235-year period using the time-series of tree ring parameters.

Strengths

• Data covers a 235-year time period (199 to -36 BP).
• Provided by NOAA's authoritative World Data Service for Paleoclimatology.

Limitations

• Data is stale, last updated in 1986.
• Specific parameters, row count, and sample size are unknown.
• Geographic coverage is limited to a single site in Argentina.
