173 to -38 calendar years before present (BP) of tree ring data from Quebec, Canada. This archived paleoclimatology study provides parameters for climate reconstruction and is available from the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information under the World Data Service for Paleoclimatology. The data was archived in 1988.
Use Cases
- Reconstruct past temperature or precipitation anomalies using tree ring width parameters.
- Calibrate climate proxy models by correlating the ring chronology with known historical climate events.
- Analyze growth trends and extreme events within the 211-year chronology from the Coats River site.
- Compare this Quebec chronology with other ITRDB series to study regional climate patterns.
Strengths
- 211-year chronology providing multi-century climate context.
- Data is curated and archived by the authoritative NOAA NCEI World Data Service.
Limitations
- Data recency is low, with a last update in 1988, potentially missing modern analytical revisions.
- Specific parameters, sample depth, and measurement methods are not detailed in the provided description.
