Mount Adams Tree Ring Chronology from 100 to -42 BP

Tree ring width measurements from Mount Adams in Washington State, USA, used for paleoclimate reconstruction. The chronology covers the period from 100 to -42 calendar years before present. Data is archived by NOAA's National Centers for Environmental Information under the World Data Service for Paleoclimatology, with a last update recorded in 1992.

Use Cases

• Reconstruct past temperature or precipitation anomalies using the tree-ring width time-series.
• Calibrate the tree-ring chronology against other regional paleoclimate proxies for the specified time period.
• Analyze growth patterns in Abies lasiocarpa (ABLA) trees from the Mount Adams site for ecological studies.

Strengths

• Chronology spans 142 years, from 100 to -42 calendar years BP.
• Data is curated and archived by the authoritative NOAA NCEI World Data Service for Paleoclimatology.

Limitations

• Temporal coverage is relatively short for long-term climate trend analysis.
• Data is geographically limited to a single site (Mount Adams, Washington).
• The dataset was last updated in 1992, indicating potential staleness in metadata or availability.
