Nancy Brook Tree Ring Chronology For Paleoclimate Reconstruction

340 to -29 calendar years before present (BP) of tree ring width data from a site in New Hampshire, USA. This paleoclimatology dataset is part of the NOAA World Data Service for Paleoclimatology's collection, specifically from the International Tree-Ring Data Bank (ITRDB). The data was archived by NOAA NCEI, with the record last updated in 1979.

Use Cases

• Reconstruct past temperature or precipitation anomalies using the tree ring width time-series.
• Calibrate the chronology against known climate events within the 340 to -29 BP range.
• Compare this site's growth patterns (tree ring parameters) with other regional ITRDB records for spatial climate analysis.

Strengths

• Time series spans 369 years (340 to -29 BP), providing a multi-century climate proxy.
• Data is curated and archived by the authoritative NOAA World Data Service for Paleoclimatology.

Limitations

• Record was last updated in 1979, making it a potentially stale entry in the ITRDB.
• The geographic scope is limited to a single site in New Hampshire, USA.
