Historical Timber Tree-Ring Data from Regensburg, Germany (247-143 BP)

NOAA/WDS Paleoclimatology archives tree-ring data from historical timbers at Grassgasse 10 in Regensburg, Bavaria. The dataset provides parameters for dendrochronological analysis covering the period from 247 to 143 calendar years before present. It is maintained by the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information under the World Data Service for Paleoclimatology.

Use Cases

• Reconstruct past climate conditions like temperature or precipitation using tree-ring width or density parameters.
• Date historical structures or artifacts by cross-referencing the tree-ring chronology from the Regensburg timbers.
• Analyze climate anomalies for specific years within the 247-143 BP period using the annual resolution of the tree-ring series.
• Calibrate regional climate models by comparing the proxy data from the tree-ring parameters with other paleoclimate records.

Strengths

• Data covers a specific 104-year period (247-143 BP) with annual resolution.
• Sourced from a known, authoritative repository (NOAA NCEI WDS for Paleoclimatology).
• Includes geospatial location data for Bavaria, Germany.

Limitations

• Sample size and number of tree-ring parameters are unknown from the description.
• Temporal coverage is limited to a specific, short historical window.
• Potential geographic bias, being sourced from a single location in Regensburg.
