Tree Ring Chronology for Climate Reconstruction in British Columbia

134 to -47 calendar years before present (BP) of tree ring data from British Columbia, Canada. This paleoclimatology dataset is archived by the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) World Data Service for Paleoclimatology. The data was last updated in 1997.

Use Cases

• Reconstructing past temperature or precipitation anomalies using tree ring width measurements.
• Calibrating climate models with proxy data from the Promontory site chronology.
• Analyzing long-term climate trends in British Columbia from the 134 to -47 BP time series.
• Correlating tree ring parameters with known historical climate events for the region.

Strengths

• Time series covers 181 calendar years (134 to -47 BP).
• Data is curated and archived by the authoritative NOAA NCEI World Data Service.

Limitations

• Data has not been updated since 1997, indicating potential staleness.
• Specific sample size (row count) and measured parameters (columns) are unknown.
