Torneträsk tree-ring width (TRW) and density (MXD) AD 500-2004

Creator/Principal investigator(s):

Håkan Grudd - Stockholm University, Department of Physical Geography

Description:

Tree-ring width (TRW) and maximum density (MXD) from Tornetrask in northern Sweden, covering the period AD 500 - 2004. Non-climatological growth trends in the data are removed using Regional Curve Standardization (RCS). A climate reconstruction based on MXD captures 63-64% of the inter-annual summer temperature variation.

Subject area:

Climate Research, Physical Geography (The Swedish standard of fields of research 2011)
Climatology / Meteorology / Atmosphere (INSPIRE topic categories)

Keywords:
