Schweingruber Tree Ring Chronology From Sarekungey, Kyrgyzstan

NOAA/WDS Paleoclimatology archives a tree-ring chronology from the Sarekungey site in Kyrgyzstan. The data covers a time period from 197 to -45 calendar years before present. NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) published this study, which was last updated in 1995.

Use Cases

• Reconstruct past temperature or precipitation anomalies using tree-ring width measurements as a proxy.
• Calibrate the chronology against other regional paleoclimate records using the provided calendar year BP timeline.
• Analyze growth patterns and climate sensitivity for the specific tree species sampled at the Sarekungey site.

Strengths

• Covers a 242-year time period from 197 to -45 calendar years BP.
• Sourced from the authoritative NOAA NCEI World Data Service for Paleoclimatology.

Limitations

• Data is temporally stale, with a last update recorded in 1995.
• Sample size, geographic representativeness, and specific measurement parameters are unknown from the description.
