463 to -44 calendar years before present (BP) of fire history data reconstructed from tree rings in Washington, USA. The dataset is archived by the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information under its Paleoclimatology World Data Service. The associated study type is Fire and the data was last updated in 1994.
Use Cases
- Analyze fire return intervals and frequency over a 500-year period using the calendar years before present (BP) chronology.
- Reconstruct historical climate conditions influencing fire events using tree-ring width or density parameters.
- Correlate fire history events from the 'fire history|tree ring' parameter with other regional paleoclimate proxies.
- Model the relationship between fire occurrence and geographic location features specific to the Tucannon area in Washington.
Strengths
- Covers a 500+ year time period from 463 to -44 calendar years BP.
- Authoritative source from NOAA NCEI's World Data Service for Paleoclimatology.
Limitations
