Fly Peak Chiricahua Mountains Tree Ring Paleoclimate Data

155-year tree ring chronology from calendar years 122 to -33 BP, sourced from the Fly Peak site in Arizona. The dataset is archived by NOAA's National Centers for Environmental Information under its Paleoclimatology program. It was last updated in 1983.

Use Cases

• Analyze tree ring width series to reconstruct past temperature or precipitation anomalies.
• Correlate ring chronology with other paleoclimate proxies for the southwestern US region.
• Use the dated tree ring sequence as a calibration or validation source for climate models.

Strengths

• 155-year continuous chronology from calendar years 122 to -33 BP.
• Data is curated and archived by NOAA's authoritative World Data Service for Paleoclimatology.

Limitations

• Data is temporally stale, last updated in 1983.
• Geographic scope is limited to a single site in the Chiricahua Mountains.
• Specific parameters and measurement details are unknown without metadata.
