NOAA/WDS Paleoclimatology archives a tree ring dataset from Subartonys, Lithuania. The chronology covers 134 years, from 88 to -46 calendar years before present. NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) published this study, with a last recorded update in 1996.
Use Cases
- Calibrating regional tree ring chronologies using the Subartonys site series for cross-dating.
- Analyzing climate proxies from tree ring parameters like width or density for the 134-year period.
- Reconstructing historical climate variability in Northern Europe from the Lithuanian geographic location data.
Strengths
- 134-year temporal coverage from 88 to -46 BP provides a specific historical snapshot.
- Data is archived and curated by the authoritative NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI).
Limitations
- Data is temporally stale, with a last recorded update in 1996.
- Sample size and specific parameters like ring width are unknown from the description.
- Geographic coverage is limited to a single site in Lithuania.
