Hurricane Ridge Tree Ring Chronology from 252 to -33 BP

285 calendar years of tree ring data from the Hurricane Ridge site in Washington, USA, covering the period from 252 to -33 years before present. The dataset is archived by NOAA's National Centers for Environmental Information under its Paleoclimatology program. The data was published in 1983.

Use Cases

• Analyze tree ring width variations over the 285-year chronology to infer past climatic conditions.
• Correlate the tree ring time-series data with other paleoclimate proxies for the region.
• Study the growth patterns of Abies amabilis (ABAM) trees at the Hurricane Ridge location across centuries.

Strengths

• Provides a 285-year chronology for paleoclimate analysis.
• Data is curated and archived by NOAA NCEI, an authoritative source.

Limitations

• The data is temporally stale, last updated in 1983.
• Specific column names, sample data, and data size are unknown.
• Geographic coverage is limited to a single site in Washington.
