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

This data description and associated data have been migrated from the ECDS portal to SND’s research data catalogue. This means that the level of documentation may differ from other data descriptions in the catalogue. You can find more information about the migration of data from ECDS to SND here.

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:

Paleoclimate, Tree Rings, Paleoclimate Reconstructions, Paleoclimate Indicators, palaeoclimatology, Atmospheric conditions
