390 to -44 calendar years before present of tree ring width measurements from the Kubaka River right bank site in Russia. The dataset is part of the NOAA NCEI World Data Service for Paleoclimatology archive, contributed by researcher F. Schweingruber. It was archived in 1994.
Use Cases
- Reconstruct past temperature or precipitation anomalies by analyzing the annual tree ring width series.
- Calibrate the chronology against other regional proxy records using the established year-by-year time series.
- Study ecological responses to historical climate events using the dated growth patterns from this specific site.
Strengths
- Covers a 434-year period from 390 to -44 BP, providing a multi-century climate proxy.
- Part of the authoritative ITRDB (International Tree-Ring Data Bank) collection, ensuring standardized formatting.
Limitations
- Data is temporally stale, with no updates since its archival in 1994.
- Geographic coverage is limited to a single site (Kubaka River, Russia), limiting regional generalizability.
- Specific measurement parameters and sample depth are unknown from the provided description.
