Mongolian Tree Ring Chronology from 587 to 49 BCE

A 636-year tree ring chronology from the Suuleen Bagtraa site in Mongolia, spanning from 587 to 49 years before present (BP). The dataset contains parameters for dendrochronological analysis and was archived by NOAA's World Data Service for Paleoclimatology. This paleoclimatology study was last updated in 1999.

Use Cases

• Reconstruct past temperature or precipitation anomalies for Eastern Asia using the tree ring width series.
• Calibrate climate models by comparing the chronology against known historical climate events within its 636-year span.
• Analyze growth patterns and extreme events recorded in the tree ring parameters to study ecological resilience in Mongolia.

Strengths

• Covers a 636-year time period from 587 to 49 BP, providing a long-term baseline.
• Sourced from the authoritative NOAA/NCEI World Data Service for Paleoclimatology.

Limitations

• Data recency is low, last updated in 1999, which may not reflect modern analytical standards.
• Specific sample size, measurement parameters, and potential geographic bias within Mongolia are unknown.
