Ary-Ongorbynf River Tree Ring Chronology from Russia

NOAA NCEI archives this tree ring dataset from the Ary-Ongorbynf River site in Russia. The chronology covers a 282-year period from 242 to -40 calendar years before present. The data were published by the NOAA World Data Service for Paleoclimatology in 1990.

Use Cases

• Reconstruct past climate variables like temperature or precipitation by analyzing the tree ring width series.
• Calibrate climate models for Eastern Europe using the 282-year proxy record from the Ary-Ongorbynf River site.
• Perform cross-dating analysis with other regional tree ring chronologies using the annual resolution time series.
• Study ecological responses to historical climate events by examining growth anomalies within the ring width data.

Strengths

• 282-year temporal coverage providing a multi-century climate proxy.
• Data is curated and archived by the authoritative NOAA World Data Service for Paleoclimatology.

Limitations

• Temporal coverage ends at -40 BP, limiting analysis of the most recent millennia.
• Data recency is low, with a last update recorded in 1990.
• Geographic scope is limited to a single site in Russia, reducing regional generalizability.
