219 to -47 calendar years before present of tree ring parameters from a site in British Columbia, Canada. This paleoclimatology dataset is part of the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information World Data Service for Paleoclimatology. The data was archived by NOAA NCEI and last updated in 1997.
Use Cases
- Reconstruct past temperature or precipitation anomalies using the tree ring width chronology.
- Calibrate climate models by comparing the proxy record from tree ring parameters with instrumental data.
- Analyze long-term ecological trends and forest growth patterns in British Columbia from the ring data.
- Study extreme climate events and their frequency over the 266-year period covered by the chronology.
Strengths
- Covers a 266-year period from 219 to -47 calendar years BP.
- Sourced from the authoritative NOAA NCEI World Data Service for Paleoclimatology.
Limitations
- Data recency is low, with a last update in 1997, potentially missing modern methodological refinements.
- Geographic coverage is limited to a single site in British Columbia, Canada.
