A tree-ring chronology from Krasnovishersk, Russia, covering 311 years from 270 to -41 calendar years before present. The dataset was archived by NOAA NCEI's World Data Service for Paleoclimatology and last updated in 1991. It provides parameters for dendroclimatological analysis.
Use Cases
- Reconstruct past temperature or precipitation anomalies using tree-ring width series from the chronology.
- Calibrate climate models by comparing the tree-ring proxy data with instrumental records for the region.
- Analyze climate extremes and long-term trends over a 311-year period in pre-modern Russia.
- Study ecological responses to historical climate events using the dated tree-ring sequences.
Strengths
- Covers a 311-year time period (270 to -41 BP), providing a multi-century climate record.
- Archived and standardized by NOAA's authoritative World Data Service for Paleoclimatology.
Limitations
- Temporal coverage ends at 41 BC, with no data for more recent centuries.
- Data last updated in 1991, indicating potential staleness in metadata or formatting.
- Geographic scope is limited to a single site (Krasnovishersk) in Russia.
