282 tree-ring width measurements from a site in Texas, United States, covering the period from 282 to 71 calendar years before present. This paleoclimatology dataset was archived by the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information's World Data Service for Paleoclimatology. The data is associated with the study type 'Tree Ring'.
Use Cases
- Reconstruct historical climate variables like precipitation or temperature for Texas using tree-ring width as a proxy.
- Analyze long-term growth trends and anomalies in tree-ring width time series data.
- Calibrate and validate climate models for the region using the 212-year chronology.
- Compare this Texas tree-ring chronology with other regional chronologies to assess spatial climate patterns.
Strengths
- 212-year continuous chronology from 282 to 71 BP
- Data is curated and archived by the authoritative NOAA NCEI World Data Service for Paleoclimatology
Limitations
- Sample size and replication depth for individual years are unknown from the description
