Tree ring data from Seaforde Demesne in the British Isles spans 211 years from 164 BC to 47 BC, providing a record of historical climate conditions. The dataset is part of the NOAA NCEI Paleoclimatology archive and was published by the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information. The data was archived in 1997.
Use Cases
- Analyze annual tree ring width variations to infer past climatic conditions like temperature or precipitation.
- Cross-reference this chronology with other regional tree ring series to validate broader climate reconstructions.
- Use the calibrated calendar years before present (BP) to align this data with archaeological or historical events.
- Study growth anomalies within the ring width parameter to identify specific environmental stress events.
