416 tree-ring width measurements from timber samples collected at Theresienplatz 40-2 in Straubing, Bavaria, Germany. The data covers a 125-year period from 416 to 291 calendar years before present. This archived paleoclimatology study is provided by NOAA's National Centers for Environmental Information.
Use Cases
- Reconstruct historical temperature or precipitation patterns in Bavaria using tree-ring width as a proxy.
- Cross-date and verify the age of the Straubing historical timbers against other regional tree-ring chronologies.
- Analyze growth anomalies within the 125-year time series to identify specific years of environmental stress.
- Calibrate regional climate models by comparing the tree-ring width time series with other paleoclimate records.
Strengths
