Little Wolf Pass Tree Ring Chronology for Arizona Paleoclimate

356 to -21 calendar years BP of tree ring parameters from a site in Arizona, United States. The dataset is archived by the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information under its World Data Service for Paleoclimatology. This study was published as part of the NOAA Paleoclimatology collection.

Use Cases

• Reconstruct past climate variables like temperature or precipitation using the tree ring width chronology.
• Calibrate radiocarbon dating or other chronological methods by cross-referencing the dated tree ring series.
• Analyze long-term ecological trends and forest response to climate by examining the annual growth parameters.
• Validate regional climate model simulations for the southwestern US against the proxy data from this chronology.

Strengths

• Temporal coverage spans 377 years, from 356 to -21 calendar years BP.
• Data is curated and archived by the authoritative NOAA NCEI World Data Service for Paleoclimatology.

Limitations

• The dataset appears temporally stale, with a last updated date of 1971-01-01.
• Specific sample size, measured parameters, and data granularity are not provided in the description.
