Tree Ring Chronology from Arizona Sites

Tree ring data parameters from sites in Arizona, United States, archived by NOAA NCEI. The time period coverage spans from 259 to -14 calendar years before present (BP). This Paleoclimatology study is available from the NOAA World Data Service.

Use Cases

• Analyzing annual tree-ring width variations to reconstruct past climate conditions.
• Cross-dating tree-ring series from the Arizona sites to establish a regional chronology.
• Calibrating the chronology against known events using the calendar years before present (BP) time scale.

Strengths

• Data spans a specific time range of 273 years (259 to -14 BP).
• Geographic location is precisely defined as Arizona, United States.

Limitations

• The dataset's last known update date is 1964, indicating potentially stale metadata or methods.
• Specific parameters, row counts, and file formats are unknown, limiting initial assessment.
