Fire history data derived from tree ring analysis at the Entiat Mud Creek site in Washington, USA. The record spans 334 years, from 290 to -44 calendar years before present. This paleoclimatology study was archived by the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information.
Use Cases
- Analyze fire occurrence frequency over the 334-year period using the calendar years before present (BP) timeline.
- Correlate fire history events with other paleoclimate proxies for the Washington region.
- Reconstruct historical fire regimes for the Entiat Mud Creek Aspect Polygon 203 location.
Strengths
- Time series covers a specific 334-year period (290 to -44 BP).
- Data is curated and archived by the authoritative NOAA NCEI World Data Service.
Limitations
- Temporal coverage is limited to a single, ancient 334-year window.
- Data is geographically restricted to one site (Entiat Mud Creek) in Washington.
- The dataset metadata indicates a last update date of 1994, suggesting potential staleness.
