Mar Lodge Tree Ring Chronology From 101 to -26 BP

127-year tree ring chronology from the Mar Lodge area in the British Isles, United Kingdom. The dataset contains parameters of tree rings for paleoclimate reconstruction, archived by NOAA NCEI under the World Data Service for Paleoclimatology. The associated study type is Tree Ring and the data were last updated in 1976.

Use Cases

• Reconstruct past temperature or precipitation anomalies using tree ring width parameters.
• Calibrate radiocarbon dating or other chronological models with the 127-year time series.
• Analyze climate sensitivity and growth patterns from tree ring parameters for the specified geographic location.

Strengths

• Covers a specific 127-year time period from 101 to -26 calendar years BP.
• Geographically precise data for the Mar Lodge area in the United Kingdom, British Isles.
• Archived and maintained by the authoritative NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI).

Limitations

• Temporal coverage is limited to 127 years, which is a short span for some climate trend analyses.
• Data is temporally stale, with a last update recorded in 1976, potentially lacking modern revisions.
• Unknown sample size (row count) and specific measured parameters limit assessment of statistical robustness.
