Finnish Pine Tree Ring Chronology from 453 to 93 BP

NOAA/WDS Paleoclimatology archives a tree-ring chronology from the Harakkamäki Juuka site in Finland. The data covers a 360-year period from 453 to 93 calendar years before present, collected under the International Tree-Ring Data Bank (ITRDB). This study is maintained by NOAA's National Centers for Environmental Information.

Use Cases

• Calibrating regional climate models using the 360-year tree-ring width chronology as a temperature proxy.
• Analyzing growth anomaly patterns within the chronology to identify extreme climatic events in historical Finland.
• Cross-dating this PISY (Scots Pine) chronology with other ITRDB series to validate regional climate reconstructions.

Strengths

• 360-year continuous chronology from 453 to 93 BP.
• Data is part of the authoritative NOAA NCEI and ITRDB archives.

Limitations

• Exact sample size, replication, and measurement parameters are unknown from provided metadata.
• Temporal coverage is limited to a specific 360-year pre-historical period.
