Calendar years 238 to -26 before present (BP) tree ring data from Lake Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, United States. The dataset contains parameters of tree rings for paleoclimate reconstruction. It is archived by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) under the World Data Service for Paleoclimatology.

Use Cases

• Reconstructing historical climate parameters like temperature or precipitation from tree ring width measurements.
• Analyzing the relationship between tree ring growth indices and volcanic or climatic events within the 264-year period.
• Calibrating or validating other paleoclimate proxy records using this specific Idaho tree ring chronology.

Strengths

• Provides a 264-year chronology spanning calendar years 238 to -26 BP.
• Data originates from the authoritative NOAA/NCEI World Data Service for Paleoclimatology.

Limitations

• The specific tree ring parameters and measurement counts are unknown.
• The data was last updated in 1976, indicating potentially outdated collection or processing methods.
