Argentinian Tree Ring Chronology from 357 to -34 BP

Tree ring data from Argentina provides paleoclimatic proxy records. The time period coverage spans from 357 to -34 calendar years before present. The data is archived by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information under the World Data Service for Paleoclimatology.

Use Cases

• Reconstructing past temperature or precipitation anomalies using tree ring width measurements.
• Analyzing climate variability over a 391-year period from 357 to -34 BP.
• Calibrating regional climate models with proxy data from Argentina.
• Studying long-term environmental changes through dendrochronological records.

Strengths

• Time series spans 391 calendar years.
• Data is part of the NOAA/NCEI World Data Service, an authoritative archive.

Limitations

• Data was last updated in 1984, indicating potential staleness.
• Specific parameters, measurement methods, and sample sizes are not detailed.
• Geographic coverage is limited to a single location in Argentina.
