Mongolian Tree Ring Chronology From 152 to -44 BP

196 calendar years of tree ring data from Mongolia, Eastern Asia, covering the period from 152 to -44 years before present. This archived paleoclimatology study is a Tree Ring dataset from the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information's World Data Service. The data was archived by NOAA NCEI, with a last update recorded in 1994.

Use Cases

• Reconstruct past climate parameters like temperature or precipitation from tree ring width measurements.
• Calibrate climate models by comparing the tree ring chronology with other proxy records for the 196-year period.
• Analyze growth patterns in the Terelj - LASI - ITRDB MONG004 series to identify extreme historical climate events.

Strengths

• Covers a specific 196-year time period (152 to -44 BP) for climate analysis.
• Data is archived and maintained by the authoritative NOAA NCEI World Data Service for Paleoclimatology.

Limitations

• Data is temporally stale, with a last update recorded in 1994, potentially lacking modern revisions.
• The specific parameters and measurement methods within the tree ring data are not detailed in the provided description.
• Geographic coverage is limited to a single location in Mongolia, limiting broader regional inferences.
