Colorado Tree Ring Chronology from 324 to -33 BP

Tree ring data from the Red Mountain Pass Silverton site in Colorado, United States, covering a period from 324 to -33 calendar years before present. The dataset is archived by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information under the World Data Service for Paleoclimatology. The associated study type is Tree Ring and the data was last updated in 1983.

Use Cases

• Reconstructing past climate variables like temperature or precipitation using tree ring width measurements.
• Calibrating climate models by comparing model outputs with proxy data from the tree ring chronology.
• Analyzing long-term climate trends and anomalies over a 357-year period in the Colorado region.
• Studying the response of tree growth to environmental stressors documented in the ring parameters.

Strengths

• Data covers a specific 357-year period from 324 to -33 BP.
• Provided by NOAA NCEI, an authoritative source for paleoclimate data.

Limitations

• The dataset is temporally stale, with a last update date of 1983.
• Specific data parameters, column names, and sample sizes are unknown.
• Geographic coverage is limited to a single site in Colorado.
