Tree Ring Chronology from Dibeen, Jordan for Paleoclimate Study

30 to -44 calendar years before present (BP) of tree ring data from Jordan, Middle East. This paleoclimatology study is archived by the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information under its World Data Service. The data were last updated in the repository in 1994.

Use Cases

• Reconstruct past climate parameters like precipitation or temperature from tree ring width measurements.
• Calibrate regional climate models using the proxy data series spanning 74 years.
• Analyze growth anomalies in the tree ring chronology to identify historical drought events.

Strengths

• Data covers a specific 74-year time period (30 to -44 BP).
• Sourced from the authoritative NOAA/NCEI World Data Service for Paleoclimatology.

Limitations

• Temporal coverage is relatively short for long-term climate trend analysis.
• Data is geographically limited to a single site (Dibeen, Jordan).
• The dataset has not been updated in the repository since 1994, indicating potential staleness.
