        abstract:  This archived Paleoclimatology Study is available from the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI), under the World Data Service (WDS) for Paleoclimatology. The associated NCEI study type is Climate Reconstruction. The data include parameters of climate reconstructions|tree ring with a geographic location of Idaho, United States Of America. The time period coverage is from 359 to -58 in calendar years before present (BP). See metadata information for parameter and study location details. Please cite this study when using the data.
        purpose:  Records of past temperature, precipitation, and other climate variables derived from paleoclimate proxies. Parameter keywords describe what was measured in this data set. Additional summary information can be found in the abstracts of papers listed in the data set citations.

        supplementalInformation:  STUDY NOTES: Wise 2010 tree-ring reconstruction of streamflow at three gages in the upper Snake River. Reconstruction is of total annual (water year) flow in acre-feet. The reconstructed gage records are for the following gages: (1) Jackson Lake at Dam on Snake River near Moran, WY: 43.8575N,-110.59W, 2065M (2) south fork of the Snake River at Palisades Dam, ID: 43.3327N, -111.2025W, 1708M (3) Snake River near Heise, ID: 43.6419N, -111.6844W, 1525M Reconstruction is based on 3 tree-ring chronologies: FMT Douglas fir (S. Gray): 42.96°N, 109.77°W, 2300m, 1507-2006AD HRI Limber pine (Teton Science School): 43.30°N, 110.67°W, 2000m 1505-2006AD RDH Limber pine (E. Wise): 43.62°N, 110.44°W, 2300m, 1322-2006AD The RDH chronology is archived in the International Tree Ring Data Bank (ITRDB): http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/paleo/treering.html Instrumental data was supplied by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation (http://www.usbr.gov/pn/hydromet). See Wise (2010) for more complete description of data and methods. ABSTRACT SUPPLIED BY ORIGINATOR: Tree ring samples collected near the Snake River headwaters were augmented with preexisting tree ring chronologies to create a 415 year reconstruction of upper Snake River streamflow, extending the short instrumental record and providing the first description of multicentury water supply variability in this river. Results indicate that the region's early 21st century drought is severe even in the context of long-term climatic variability and that the instrumental record is representative of low-flow individual years. In terms of overall magnitude, droughts of the recent past are eclipsed by a sustained low-flow period lasting for over 30 years in the early to mid-1600s. A comparison of reconstructed Snake River flow with streamflow reconstructions of the Colorado, Sacramento, and Verde rivers suggests that changes in the predominance of zonal versus meridional atmospheric flow may have influenced drought patterns in the western United States through time.
