Kyrgyzstan Tree Ring Chronology from 572 to -45 BP

572 calendar years of tree ring data from Kyrgyzstan in Southcentral Asia, used for paleoclimate reconstruction. The dataset was archived by NOAA's National Centers for Environmental Information under its World Data Service for Paleoclimatology. The record was last updated in the NOAA system in 1995.

Use Cases

• Reconstruct past temperature or precipitation anomalies from annual tree ring width measurements.
• Calibrate climate proxy models using the 572-year chronology ending 45 years before present.
• Analyze climate periodicity and extreme events in Southcentral Asia via the dated tree ring series.
• Compare this Central Asian tree ring record with other regional paleoclimate proxies.

Strengths

• Covers a 572-year time series from 572 to -45 calendar years BP.
• Sourced from the authoritative NOAA/NCEI World Data Service for Paleoclimatology.

Limitations

• Data is temporally stale, with a last recorded update in 1995.
• Specific sample size, measurement parameters, and site details are not provided in the summary.
• Geographic coverage is limited to a single location in Kyrgyzstan.
