A tree-ring chronology dataset from a site in Russia, Eastern Europe, covering the period from 224 to -44 calendar years before present (BP). The data was archived by NOAA's World Data Service for Paleoclimatology and is associated with the Schweingruber study. It was last updated in 1994.
Use Cases
- Reconstruct past temperature or precipitation anomalies using the tree-ring width chronology.
- Calibrate climate proxy models by analyzing the time-series of ring measurements.
- Study regional climate events in Eastern Europe across the 268-year period covered by the chronology.
Strengths
- Covers a 268-year time period (224 to -44 BP).
- Sourced from the authoritative NOAA/NCEI World Data Service for Paleoclimatology.
Limitations
- Data is temporally stale, with a last update date of 1994.
- Sample size and replication depth for the tree-ring series are unknown.
