Reconstructed Temperature and Precipitation from Tree Rings in North America; Paleoclimate Data
Entry ID:
EARTH_LAND_NGDC_PALEO_RECONSTRC
Summary
Abstract:
This data set contains files of reconstructed temperature and
precipitation data, derived from tree ring data by Dr. Harold Fritts of the University of Arizona. The reconstructions were made for a network of weather observation stations in the United States. For a discussion of the methodology of climate reconstructions, and potential limits in their application, please consult the original ...
