Tree Ring Chronology from Pinar Viejo, Spain

Southern Europe tree ring data from the NOAA Paleoclimatology archive covers a period from 68 to -49 calendar years before present. The dataset is part of the World Data Service for Paleoclimatology and was archived by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information. The data was last updated in 1999.

Use Cases

• Analyzing tree ring width variations to reconstruct past climate conditions in Spain.
• Calibrating radiocarbon dating models using the provided calendar years before present (BP) time series.
• Comparing this Southern Europe chronology with other regional tree ring datasets for broader climate studies.

Strengths

• Time period coverage spans 117 calendar years (from 68 to -49 BP).
• Data originates from the authoritative NOAA/NCEI World Data Service for Paleoclimatology.

Limitations

• Data is temporally stale, last updated in 1999.
• Specific sample size (row count) and measurement parameters are unknown.
• Geographic coverage is limited to a single site in Spain, introducing regional bias.
