Fire history data reconstructed from tree ring analysis at Ash Peak Ridge in California. The time coverage spans from 689 to -43 calendar years before present. This archived study is provided by the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information under its World Data Service for Paleoclimatology.
Use Cases
- Model fire return intervals using the calendar year before present (BP) time series.
- Analyze correlations between fire events and climate proxies derived from tree ring parameters.
- Reconstruct historical fire frequency for the Ash Peak Ridge location.
- Validate regional fire history models using the site-specific fire chronology.
Strengths
- Time series covers over 730 years, from 689 to -43 calendar years BP.
- Data is archived and curated by the authoritative NOAA NCEI World Data Service for Paleoclimatology.
Limitations
- Data is temporally stale, with a last update recorded in 1993.
- The specific row count, column names, and sample size are unknown.
- Geographic coverage is limited to a single site, Ash Peak Ridge in California.
