436-year tree ring chronology from 400 to -36 calendar years before present, providing proxy climate data. The dataset contains parameters from a single site in Arizona, United States. It is archived by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information under the World Data Service for Paleoclimatology.
Use Cases
- Reconstruct past climate variables like temperature or precipitation using the tree ring width time-series.
- Calibrate climate models by comparing the chronology data with other proxy records for the region.
- Analyze growth patterns and environmental stressors for the PSME (Pinus strobiformis) species at the Green Mountain site.
Strengths
- Chronology spans 436 calendar years (400 to -36 BP).
- Data is curated and archived by the authoritative NOAA World Data Service for Paleoclimatology.
Limitations
- Dataset is from a single geographic site, limiting regional representativeness.
- Data was last updated in 1986, potentially lacking modern methodological refinements.
- Specific sample depth, measurement statistics, and column details are unknown from the description.
