Chilean tree ring data from the Volcan Lonquimay region, spanning 311 years from 286 to -25 calendar years before present. This paleoclimatology study is archived by the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information under the World Data Service. The data was last updated in the NOAA system in 1975.
Use Cases
- Reconstruct past climate conditions using tree ring width and density parameters.
- Analyze the impact of volcanic events from Volcan Lonquimay on local tree growth patterns.
- Calibrate regional climate models with proxy data from the ARAR and ITRDB CHIL008 chronologies.
- Study long-term environmental changes in the Chilean Andes over a 311-year period.
Strengths
- 311-year temporal coverage from 286 to -25 BP
- Data sourced from the authoritative NOAA/NCEI World Data Service for Paleoclimatology
Limitations
- Data last updated in 1975, indicating potential staleness
- Specific sample size, column details, and measurement parameters are unknown
