Nepal Tree Ring Chronology From 325 to -48 Years BP

373 years of tree ring data from the Bhule Pokari site in Nepal, Southcentral Asia, used for paleoclimate studies. The dataset is archived by the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information under its World Data Service for Paleoclimatology. It was last updated in 1998.

Use Cases

• Reconstruct historical climate variables like temperature or precipitation from tree ring width or density parameters.
• Calibrate climate models by comparing the tree ring chronology against known historical climate periods.
• Analyze long-term environmental trends in Southcentral Asia using the 373-year temporal coverage.
• Study ecological responses to past climate events using the site-specific tree ring record from Nepal.

Strengths

• Covers a 373-year time period from 325 to -48 calendar years BP.
• Geographically specific data from a single site (Bhule Pokari, Nepal).

Limitations

• Data recency is low, with a last update in 1998.
• Specific parameters, row counts, and measurement details are not provided in the description.
