227 calendar years of tree ring data, from 195 to -32 years before present, provide a paleoclimate record for Oklahoma. This archived study is part of the NOAA NCEI World Data Service for Paleoclimatology and was last updated in 1982.
Use Cases
- Reconstruct past climate variables like precipitation or temperature from the tree ring width time-series.
- Calibrate the chronology against known climate events using the calendar years before present (BP) index.
- Analyze growth patterns in the Hog Creek, Oklahoma location for ecological studies.
Strengths
