Yamal Hadyta River Tree Ring Chronology for Paleoclimate Study

Tree ring width measurements from the Yamal Hadyta River region in Russia provide a climate proxy record. The chronology spans 337 years, covering the period from 323 to -14 calendar years before present. The dataset is archived by the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information under its World Data Service for Paleoclimatology.

Use Cases

• Reconstructing past temperature or moisture conditions using the tree ring width time-series as a climate proxy.
• Analyzing climate variability and extreme events in Arctic Russia during the 337-year chronology period.
• Calibrating and validating climate models with a high-resolution, annually resolved proxy record from the Yamal Peninsula.
• Studying the response of boreal forest tree growth to historical environmental changes recorded in the ring measurements.

Strengths

• Chronology spans 337 years, providing a multi-century climate record.
• Data is curated and archived by the authoritative NOAA NCEI World Data Service for Paleoclimatology.

Limitations

• The dataset's last documented update was in 1964, indicating it is a static, historical archive.
• The specific sample depth, measurement parameters, and site details are not provided in the basic description, requiring metadata review.
