A tree-ring chronology dataset from Tschita, Russia, covering the period from 33 to -46 calendar years before present. The data was archived by the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information under its World Data Service for Paleoclimatology. The record was last updated in 1996.
Use Cases
- Calibrating climate models using the tree-ring width parameter as a proxy for past temperature or precipitation conditions.
- Analyzing long-term environmental trends in Eastern Europe by examining the tree-ring chronology time series.
- Reconstructing historical climate events for the specified geographic location using the dated tree-ring record.
Strengths
