LAST UPDATE: 8/1999 (Original receipt by WDC-A Paleo) GEOGRAPHIC REGION: Gulf of Alaska/Northwest North America PERIOD OF RECORD: 1734-1983 DESCRIPTION: Gulf of Alaska warm season (April-September) dendroclimatic reconstruction, 1734-1983. The reconstruction is based on ring-width and latewood density tree-ring chronologies. Models are calibrated with regional averages of coastal weather stations along the Gulf of Alaska (GOA.warm_seasonT.txt). All values are in degree celsius.
