175 years of tree-ring data from Ireland, British Isles, covering the period from 147 to -28 calendar years before present. The dataset is archived by the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information World Data Service for Paleoclimatology. The associated NCEI study type is Tree Ring, and the data was last updated in 1978.

Use Cases

• Calibrating radiocarbon dates using the tree-ring chronology as a reference series.
• Reconstructing past climate parameters like temperature or precipitation from ring-width measurements.
• Analyzing environmental changes in Ireland during the period from 147 to -28 BP.

Strengths
