Tree Ring Chronology from Popigay, Russia (325 to -40 BP)

Tree ring width chronology data from the Popigay region in Russia, Eastern Europe. The time series covers the period from 325 to -40 calendar years before present. This archived paleoclimatology study is provided by the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information under the World Data Service.

Use Cases

• Reconstruct past temperature or precipitation anomalies using the tree ring width chronology as a climate proxy.
• Calibrate radiocarbon dating or synchronize timelines by cross-dating the ring width series with other regional chronologies.
• Analyze climate forcing events by examining growth anomalies within the 365-year ring width record.
• Study forest response to past environmental stress by investigating inter-annual variability in the ring measurements.

Strengths

• Time series covers a 365-year period (325 to -40 BP).
• Data is curated and archived by the authoritative NOAA NCEI World Data Service for Paleoclimatology.

Limitations

• Data is temporally stale, with a last recorded update in 1990.
• Specific sample size, measurement parameters, and site details are not provided in the available metadata.
