A Northern European tree ring chronology from Anyksciai, Lithuania, provides paleoclimate data. The time series covers 156 calendar years, from 112 to -44 years before present. NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) archived this study in 1994.
Use Cases
- Reconstruct past temperature or precipitation anomalies using tree ring width measurements.
- Calibrate climate models by comparing the chronology with other regional proxy records.
- Analyze growth patterns to identify extreme climatic events within the 156-year period.
Strengths
- 156-year continuous time series from 112 to -44 BP.
- Data archived by the authoritative NOAA NCEI World Data Service for Paleoclimatology.
Limitations
- Dataset is small, covering only 156 years of temporal coverage.
