New Zealand Tree Ring Paleoclimate Data 670-453 BP

NOAA/WDS Paleoclimatology - Boswijk - MORS Sample - AGAU - ITRDB NEWZ095 is a tree ring dataset from New Zealand. It covers the period from 670 to 453 calendar years before present (BP). The data are archived by the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information under the World Data Service for Paleoclimatology.

Use Cases

• Analyze tree-ring width or density parameters to reconstruct past climate conditions like temperature or precipitation.
• Calibrate radiocarbon dating or other chronological methods using the 670-453 BP time series.
• Compare Southern Hemisphere paleoclimate signals from New Zealand with other regional tree-ring records.
• Study long-term environmental changes by examining the tree-ring parameters over a 217-year period.

Strengths

• Data covers a specific 217-year period from 670 to 453 BP.
• Provided by the authoritative NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information.

Limitations

• Specific parameters, row count, and file formats are unknown.
• The temporal coverage is limited to a single, ancient period without modern extension.
• Geographic coverage is restricted to a single location in New Zealand.
