286 to -33 calendar years before present (BP) of tree ring parameters from a site in Alaska. This paleoclimatology dataset is archived by NOAA NCEI under the World Data Service for Paleoclimatology. The data collection was last updated in the NOAA system in 1983.
Use Cases
- Reconstruct historical temperature or precipitation anomalies from tree-ring width parameters.
- Calibrate climate models by comparing the tree-ring chronology with other proxy records for the 319-year period.
- Analyze growth response and climate sensitivity of tree species at the Moose Pass Seward geographic location.
Strengths
- Covers a 319-year time period (286 to -33 BP) for long-term trend analysis.
- Authoritatively sourced from NOAA NCEI's World Data Service for Paleoclimatology.
Limitations
- Data collection is temporally stale, with a last system update recorded in 1983.
- Specific sample size (row count), measurement parameters, and data formats are unknown.
