Roaring Brook Tree Ring Chronology for Paleoclimate Analysis

331 to -28 calendar years before present (BP) of tree ring width data from Keene Valley, New York, United States. The dataset is a paleoclimatology study from the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information World Data Service. It was archived by NOAA NCEI, with a last recorded update in 1978.

Use Cases

• Reconstruct past temperature or precipitation anomalies by analyzing the annual tree_ring_width series.
• Calibrate climate models using the dated chronology spanning over 350 years before present.
• Study ecological responses to historical climate events using the year-by-year growth record.
• Cross-date and validate other regional tree-ring chronologies using the established time_series from this site.

Strengths

• Covers a specific time range of 359 years (from 331 to -28 BP).
• Sourced from the authoritative NOAA NCEI World Data Service for Paleoclimatology.
• Provides a precisely dated proxy record for a defined geographic location.

Limitations

• Data is temporally stale, with a last update recorded in 1978.
• Geographic coverage is limited to a single site in New York, limiting regional generalizability.
• The exact number of tree core samples, measurement resolution, and data formats are unknown.
