207 to -47 calendar years before present (BP) of tree ring data from Colorado, United States. The dataset contains parameters for climate reconstruction from tree rings, archived by the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information. It was last updated in 1997.
Use Cases
- Reconstruct historical temperature or precipitation using tree-ring width as a proxy variable.
- Analyze climate variability and extreme events over a 254-year period from the tree-ring chronology.
- Calibrate climate models by comparing the tree-ring proxy record with instrumental data for the Colorado region.
- Study ecological responses to past climate conditions inferred from the tree-ring parameters.
Strengths
- Covers a specific 254-year period (207 to -47 BP) for climate analysis.
- Sourced from the authoritative NOAA/NCEI World Data Service for Paleoclimatology.
Limitations
- Data is temporally stale, with a last update recorded in 1997.
- The geographic scope is limited to a single site (Round Prairie, Colorado).
- Specific sample size, measurement parameters, and potential data gaps are unknown from the description.
