Tree Ring Chronology From Hart's Pass Washington

421 to -40 calendar years before present of tree ring parameters from Washington, USA. This paleoclimatology study is archived by the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information under the World Data Service for Paleoclimatology. The associated NCEI study type is Tree Ring.

Use Cases

• Reconstruct past climate variables like temperature or precipitation using the tree ring width chronology.
• Calibrate radiocarbon dating or other dating methods using the annual resolution of tree ring data.
• Analyze the response of tree growth to environmental stressors over a 461-year period.
• Compare this site's chronology (ITRDB WA072) with other regional tree ring datasets for spatial climate analysis.

Strengths

• Covers a 461-year time period (421 to -40 BP).
