Austrian Tree Ring Chronology from Stubaital Milderaun Alm

Tree ring width measurements from the Stubaital Milderaun Alm site in Austria. The chronology covers a period from 205 to -25 calendar years before present. This archived paleoclimatology study is provided by the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information under its World Data Service.

Use Cases

• Reconstruct past temperature or precipitation anomalies using the tree ring width time-series.
• Calibrate regional climate models by comparing the tree ring chronology with instrumental records.
• Analyze growth patterns and extreme events recorded in the ring width data for specific calendar years.

Strengths

• Time-series coverage spans 230 calendar years (205 to -25 BP).
• Data is archived and curated by the authoritative NOAA World Data Service for Paleoclimatology.

Limitations

• The dataset's last known update was in 1975, indicating potential staleness relative to modern methods.
• Specific sample size, replication statistics, and measurement precision are not provided in the available metadata.
