Argentine Tree Ring Chronology from Lago Yehuin

NOAA/WDS Paleoclimatology archives tree ring data from the Lago Yehuin site in Argentina. The chronology covers a period from 219 to -36 calendar years before present (BP). This study is maintained by the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information.

Use Cases

• Reconstruct past temperature variations using tree ring width parameters.
• Analyze climate anomalies over a 255-year period using the calendar years BP timeline.
• Calibrate regional climate models with site-specific data from Argentina.

Strengths

• Data spans a 255-year period from 219 to -36 BP.
• Associated with the authoritative NOAA NCEI World Data Service.

Limitations

• The dataset was last updated in 1986, indicating potential staleness.
• Specific parameters, sample size, and measurement details are unknown.
