Wyoming Tree Ring Width Chronology from 750 to 37 BCE

NOAA/WDS Paleoclimatology provides a tree-ring width chronology from the Louis Lake Road site in Wyoming, USA. The data covers a period from 750 to 37 years before present (BP), reconstructed from tree-ring parameters. This archived study is maintained by the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information.

Use Cases

• Reconstruct past temperature or precipitation anomalies using the tree-ring width time-series.
• Calibrate climate models by comparing the proxy data from this chronology with instrumental records.
• Analyze long-term ecological trends and forest growth responses to climate in Wyoming.
• Establish regional climate chronologies by cross-dating this series with other North American tree-ring datasets.

Strengths

• Time-series spans approximately 787 years, from 750 to 37 years BP.
• Data is curated and archived by the authoritative NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI).

Limitations

• Dataset is temporally stale, with a last update recorded in 1987.
• Geographic coverage is limited to a single site (Louis Lake Road) in Wyoming.
