Savage Gulf Tree Ring Chronology 340 to -35 BP

340 to -35 calendar years before present (BP) of tree ring data from the Savage Gulf area in Tennessee, USA. This paleoclimatology study is archived by the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information under its World Data Service. The data was last updated in the NOAA system in 1985.

Use Cases

• Reconstructing past temperature or precipitation anomalies using the tree-ring width chronology.
• Calibrating climate models by comparing the tree-ring proxy record with other paleoclimate datasets for the 375-year period.
• Analyzing growth patterns and extreme climate events within the chronology for the Savage Gulf region.
• Studying the frequency of climatic disturbances recorded in the tree-ring series from 340 to -35 BP.

Strengths

• Covers a 375-year period from 340 to -35 calendar years before present.
• Sourced from the authoritative NOAA/NCEI World Data Service for Paleoclimatology.

Limitations

• Temporal coverage ends at -35 BP, with no modern extension, limiting analysis of recent climate trends.
• Specific sample size, replication, and measurement parameters are unknown without accessing full metadata.
• Geographic scope is limited to a single site in Tennessee, USA.
