880 to 37 BCE tree ring chronology data from a site in Colorado, United States. The dataset is part of the NOAA/WDS Paleoclimatology archive and was contributed by the author Graybill. It was last updated in the NOAA system in 1987.
Use Cases
- Reconstruct past climate variables like temperature or precipitation using the tree ring width chronology.
- Calibrate radiocarbon dates or validate other paleoclimate proxies by cross-dating the tree ring series.
- Analyze growth patterns and extreme events recorded in the tree ring parameters for the specified Colorado location.
Strengths
- Covers a 917-year period from 880 to 37 BCE, providing a long-term record.
- Sourced from the authoritative NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI).
Limitations
- Data is temporally stale, with a last recorded update in 1987.
- Geographic coverage is limited to a single site in Colorado, USA.
- Specific parameters, sample size, and measurement details are not provided in the input.
