Tree ring width data from a site in Wyoming, United States, covering a 520-year period from 506 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. This archived study was last updated in 1964.
Use Cases
- Reconstruct historical climate variables like temperature or precipitation using the tree ring width chronology.
- Calibrate the tree ring series against other proxy records using the provided calendar years before present (BP) time index.
- Analyze growth anomalies and climate sensitivity for the PSME (Pinus ponderosa) species at this specific geographic location.
- Compare this site's chronology with other ITRDB (International Tree-Ring Data Bank) records from Wyoming for regional climate analysis.
Strengths
- Time series covers a 520-year period from 506 to -14 calendar years BP.
- Data is curated and archived by the authoritative NOAA NCEI World Data Service for Paleoclimatology.
Limitations
- The dataset's last update was in 1964, indicating it is a static archive with no recent revisions.
