Clemson Forest Tree Ring Chronology from 267 to -23 BP

NOAA/WDS Paleoclimatology archives a tree ring dataset from the Clemson Forest site in South Carolina, USA. The chronology covers the period from 267 to -23 calendar years before present. This study is maintained by the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information.

Use Cases

• Reconstruct past climate variables like temperature or precipitation using tree-ring width measurements.
• Analyze growth anomalies in the chronology to date historical environmental events.
• Calibrate the tree-ring series against other paleoclimate proxies for the region.

Strengths

• Chronology spans 290 years, from 267 to -23 BP.
• Data is archived and curated by the authoritative NOAA NCEI World Data Service for Paleoclimatology.

Limitations

• The dataset's last recorded update was in 1973, indicating potential staleness in metadata or curation methods.
• Specific sample depth, measurement parameters, and site details are not provided in the basic description.
