Tree Ring Chronology from the Krkonose Mountains in the Czech Republic

NOAA/WDS Paleoclimatology archives a tree ring chronology from the Upper Labe Valley north slope in the Krkonose Mountains, Czech Republic. The dataset provides parameters for climate reconstruction, with a time period coverage from 160 to -41 calendar years before present. It was published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI).

Use Cases

• Reconstruct past temperature or precipitation anomalies using the tree-ring width chronology as a proxy.
• Calibrate climate models by comparing the tree-ring parameter time series with instrumental records.
• Analyze long-term climate trends in Eastern Europe from the 201-year temporal coverage of the dataset.
• Study ecological responses to historical climate events using the geospatially located tree-ring data from the Krkonose Mountains.

Strengths

• Covers a 201-year time period (160 to -41 BP) for climate analysis.
• Sourced from the authoritative NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI).

Limitations

• Data is temporally stale, with a last updated date of 1991-01-01.
• Sample size, row count, and specific parameters are unknown from the description.
• Geographic scope is limited to a single slope in the Krkonose Mountains, Czech Republic.
