Tree Ring Chronology From Cuenca Buenache Spain 239 to -33 BP

239 calendar years before present (BP) of tree ring parameters provide a paleoclimate record for Southern Europe. The data is archived by the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information under the World Data Service for Paleoclimatology. This study was published in 1983.

Use Cases

• Reconstruct past temperature or precipitation anomalies using the tree ring width chronology.
• Calibrate climate models by comparing the proxy record from the 'tree ring' parameter with instrumental data.
• Analyze long-term environmental stress events visible in the tree ring series for the geographic location of Spain.
• Establish a dated chronology for archaeological or geological studies using the calendar years before present (BP) time frame.

Strengths

• Time series covers 272 years, from 239 to -33 calendar years before present (BP).
• Data is curated and archived by the authoritative NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI).

Limitations

• Data is temporally stale, with a last updated date of 1983, potentially missing modern analytical revisions.
• Specific parameters, sample size, and measurement methods are not detailed in the provided description.
