Finnish Tree Ring Chronology from 195 to -28 BP

NOAA/WDS Paleoclimatology archives a tree ring dataset for Finland, Scandinavia. The time period coverage spans from 195 to -28 calendar years before present (BP). This study was published by the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information in 1978.

Use Cases

• Reconstruct past temperature or precipitation anomalies in Finland using tree ring width or density parameters.
• Calibrate radiocarbon dating or other chronological models with the provided calendar years before present (BP) timeline.
• Analyze climate response functions by correlating tree ring parameters with known historical climate events for the Finnish geographic location.

Strengths

• Data spans 223 years of chronological coverage from 195 to -28 BP.
• Archived and maintained by the authoritative NOAA World Data Service for Paleoclimatology.

Limitations

• Dataset is temporally stale, with a last update date of 1978.
• Specific row count, column names, and measurement parameters are unknown from the provided metadata.
• Geographic coverage is limited to a single country (Finland).
