Summary
Abstract: This data set consists of a reconstruction of summer drought based on tree-ring
chronologies in Glacier National Park. Reconstructed parameter is Mean Summer
Deficit (precipitation - potential evapotranspiration [Thornthwaite, 1948] for
June-August) at Kalispell, Montana on the boundary of Glacier National Park.
