Wyoming Tree Ring Density Paleoclimate Records from 450 to -30 BP

NOAA/WDS Paleoclimatology archives tree-ring density data from Sylvan Pass near Cody, Wyoming. The time period coverage spans from 450 to -30 calendar years before present (BP). This archived study is maintained by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information.

Use Cases

• Analyze historical climate variability using tree-ring density as a proxy.
• Calibrate dendrochronological models for the Wyoming region using the specified time range.
• Compare paleoclimate reconstructions from the Sylvan Pass site with other North American 2K records.
• Study long-term environmental changes in calendar years before present (BP) from tree-ring parameters.

Strengths

• Data spans a specific time range of 480 years (from 450 to -30 BP).
• Associated with the authoritative PAGES North America 2K Version framework.

Limitations

• The dataset's last known update was in 1980, indicating potential staleness.
• Specific sample size, column details, and file formats are unknown.
• Geographic coverage is limited to a single site in Wyoming.
