Tree Ring Chronology from Cuenca Vega de Cordono Spain 156 to -33 BP

156 to -33 calendar years before present, this dataset provides a tree-ring chronology for climate reconstruction from the Cuenca Vega de Cordono site in Spain. The data are archived by the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information under its World Data Service for Paleoclimatology. The associated study type is Tree Ring and the data were last updated in the NOAA system in 1983.

Use Cases

• Reconstruct past temperature or precipitation anomalies using the tree-ring width chronology parameter.
• Calibrate climate models for Southern Europe using the 189-year time series from 156 to -33 BP.
• Analyze climate extremes and long-term trends for Spain using the dated tree-ring index.
• Compare this site's chronology (ITRDB SPAI032) with other Iberian tree-ring datasets for regional climate analysis.

Strengths

• Covers a 189-year period from 156 to -33 calendar years before present.
• Archived and maintained by the authoritative NOAA NCEI World Data Service for Paleoclimatology.
• Includes specific geographic location data for Spain, Southern Europe.

Limitations

• The dataset is temporally stale, with a last update recorded in 1983.
