Tree ring width data from Russia, Eastern Europe, covering 317 years from 276 to 41 BCE. The dataset is archived by the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information World Data Service for Paleoclimatology. It was last updated in 1991.
Use Cases
- Reconstruct past temperature or precipitation anomalies using the tree ring width chronology.
- Calibrate and validate climate models for the Eastern European region with the 317-year proxy record.
- Analyze climate periodicity and extreme events within the 276 to 41 BCE timeframe.
- Cross-date and synchronize this chronology (ITRDB RUSS061) with other regional tree ring datasets.
Strengths
- Covers a continuous 317-year period from 276 to 41 BCE.
- Archived by the authoritative NOAA NCEI World Data Service for Paleoclimatology.
