Rio Foyel Tree Ring Chronology from Argentina for Paleoclimate Study

Tree ring data from Argentina provides a climate reconstruction record spanning 217 years, from 185 to -32 calendar years before present. The dataset is archived by the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information under the World Data Service for Paleoclimatology. This study was last updated in 1982.

Use Cases

• Reconstruct historical precipitation (PLUV parameter) using the tree ring width chronology.
• Analyze climate variability in Patagonia over the 217-year period covered by the Rio Foyel chronology.
• Calibrate the tree ring proxy data against instrumental climate records for the Argentine region.
• Study long-term climate trends and anomalies in the Southern Hemisphere using the ITRDB ARGE056 series.

Strengths

• Covers a 217-year time period for climate analysis.
• Part of the authoritative International Tree-Ring Data Bank (ITRDB) collection from NOAA NCEI.

Limitations

• Data is temporally stale, with a last update recorded in 1982.
• Specific column details, sample sizes, and measurement parameters are not provided in the available metadata.
