Polish Tree Ring Chronology from 79 to -37 BP

A tree ring chronology from Goldap, Poland, covering the period from 79 to -37 calendar years before present. The dataset is archived by the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information under its World Data Service for Paleoclimatology. This study was published in 1987.

Use Cases

• Reconstruct past climate variables like temperature or precipitation using the annual tree ring width series.
• Calibrate radiocarbon dating or other chronological methods for the region using the dated tree ring sequence.
• Analyze long-term environmental stress events recorded in the tree ring parameters for Poland.

Strengths

• Time series covers a 116-year period (79 to -37 BP), providing a multi-decadal climate record.
• Data is curated and archived by the authoritative NOAA NCEI World Data Service for Paleoclimatology.

Limitations

• Dataset is temporally stale, with a last updated date of 1987, potentially missing modern reanalysis.
• Specific sample size, measured parameters, and data granularity are unknown from the provided metadata.
