California Boles Creek Tree-Ring Chronology from 798 to -48 BP

NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information provides a tree-ring chronology from the Boles Creek site in California, United States. The data covers a 846-year period from 798 to -48 calendar years before present. This paleoclimatology study was archived by the NOAA World Data Service for Paleoclimatology.

Use Cases

• Reconstruct historical climate parameters like temperature or precipitation from tree-ring width measurements.
• Analyze growth patterns and anomalies in the JUOC tree species over an 846-year period.
• Calibrate and validate climate models using the high-resolution proxy record from the ITRDB CA629 site.
• Study long-term ecological and environmental changes in the California region using the dated tree-ring series.

Strengths

• 846-year continuous time series from 798 to -48 BP.
• Data is curated and archived by the authoritative NOAA NCEI World Data Service for Paleoclimatology.

Limitations

• Data record ends at -48 BP (approximately 1998 CE), lacking recent decades.
• Specific parameters, measurement methods, and sample depth are not detailed in the provided metadata.
• Geographic coverage is limited to a single site (Boles Creek) in California.
