Nepal Tree Ring Chronology From 147 To -43 BP

190 years of tree ring data from Nepal, Southcentral Asia, covering the period from 147 to -43 calendar years before present. The dataset is part of the NOAA/WDS Paleoclimatology archive and was contributed by the author Krusic. It was last updated in the NOAA system in 1993.

Use Cases

• Reconstruct past climate variables like temperature or precipitation using tree ring width measurements.
• Calibrate and validate climate models for Southcentral Asia with proxy data from the Alubari site.
• Analyze long-term ecological trends and forest growth responses to historical climate events in Nepal.

Strengths

• Provides 190 years of continuous proxy climate data.
• Sourced from the authoritative NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI).

Limitations

• The data's last known update was in 1993, indicating potential staleness in metadata or availability.
• Specific sample size, measurement parameters, and data granularity are not provided in the description.
