279 to 21 calendar years before present (BP) of tree ring data from a site in Minnesota, USA. The dataset contains parameters for dendrochronological analysis and climate reconstruction. It is archived by the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information under the World Data Service for Paleoclimatology.
Use Cases
- Reconstruct past temperature or precipitation anomalies using tree ring width parameters as a proxy.
- Calibrate climate models by comparing the tree ring chronology with other paleoclimate records for the same time period.
- Analyze growth patterns and environmental stress events recorded in the tree ring parameters.
- Establish a dated timeline for regional environmental history from 279 to 21 BP.
Strengths
- Covers a 300-year time period from 279 to 21 calendar years before present.
- Sourced from the authoritative NOAA NCEI World Data Service for Paleoclimatology.
Limitations
- Exact sample size, row count, and specific measured parameters are unknown from the provided metadata.
- Data record was last updated in 1971, indicating potential staleness in metadata or access methods.
