338 tree ring width measurements from a single site in Nevada, United States, covering the period from 338 to -14 calendar years before present. This paleoclimatology dataset was archived by the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) under its World Data Service. The original data collection and publication date is noted as 1964.
Use Cases
- Reconstruct past temperature or precipitation anomalies for Nevada using the tree ring width time-series.
- Calibrate the chronology against known climate events using the year-by-year measurements.
- Compare this site's growth patterns with other regional chronologies to analyze spatial climate signals.
Strengths
- Time-series covers a span of 352 years (338 to -14 BP).
- Data is curated and archived by the authoritative NOAA NCEI World Data Service for Paleoclimatology.
Limitations
- Dataset is from a single site (Big Wash East), limiting spatial representativeness.
- The data collection date (1964) indicates the core measurement series is temporally stale and may not reflect modern analytical standards.
- Row count and specific measurement parameters beyond 'tree ring' are unknown.
