Wilmington Notch Tree Ring Chronology from 318 to -31 BP

318 to -31 calendar years before present (BP) of tree ring data from the Wilmington Notch Roaring Brook site in New York, USA. The dataset contains parameters for dendrochronological analysis and paleoclimate reconstruction. It was archived by NOAA NCEI's World Data Service for Paleoclimatology and last updated in 1981.

Use Cases

• Reconstruct past temperature or precipitation anomalies by analyzing annual tree-ring width measurements.
• Calibrate climate models using the dated chronology spanning from 318 to -31 BP.
• Study local environmental events, such as volcanic eruptions or droughts, recorded in the tree-ring parameters.

Strengths

• Chronology spans 349 years, from 318 to -31 calendar years before present.
• Data is curated and archived by the authoritative NOAA NCEI World Data Service for Paleoclimatology.

Limitations

• Data recency is low, with a last update date of 1981, potentially missing modern analytical refinements.
• Specific sample size, measurement parameters, and replication statistics are unknown from the provided metadata.
• Geographic coverage is limited to a single site (Wilmington Notch, New York).
