Supplemental Information
STUDY NOTES: These data were collected as part of northeastern United States network of Atlantic white cedar. They were used to generate a gridded temperature reconstruction for the region. Two or three cores per tree were extracted from each tree and labelled as "A", "B" or "C" NOAA Template Raw Measurements file added 2020-05-11.
ABSTRACT SUPPLIED BY ORIGINATOR: High-resolution paleoclimate records are essential for improving our understanding of internal variability and the detection and attribution of forced climate system responses. The densely populated northeastern United States is at risk from increasing temperatures, severe droughts, and extreme precipitation, but the region has limited annual and seasonal-resolution paleoclimate records beyond the instrumental record. Chamaecyparis thyoides, L. (B.S.P.), Atlantic white cedar, a wetland conifer found within 200 km of the Atlantic coastline of the United States, is a promising tree-ring proxy that can fill in these data gaps. Here, we develop and analyze a new network of Atlantic white cedar tree-ring chronologies across the northeastern United States and demonstrate that site selection is important for regional paleoclimate reconstructions. Ring width variability reflects winter through summer temperatures at inland and hydrologically stable sites in the northernmost section of the species' range. Ombrotrophic sites along the coast record hydrological signals and correlate with growing season precipitation. We demonstrate skillful regional climate field reconstructions for the last several centuries and show the increased skill from incorporating our moisture sensitive sites into broad-scale products like the North American Drought Atlas. This comprehensive understanding of the species' climate responses leads to a tree-ring network that provides the long-term multivariate climate context at multidecadal and centennial time scales for the large-scale ocean-atmospheric processes that influence the climate of the region. We use this network to examine the covariance of temperature and drought across the New England area over the past two centuries.
Purpose Tree ring data from the International Tree Ring Data Bank and World Data Center for Paleoclimatology archives. Most data sets include raw treering measurements (most are annual ring width, with some collections of earlywood or latewood width or wood density), plus chronologies (standardized growth indices for a site compiled from multiple treering samples). Reconstructions of climate variables are included with some of these data sets. Each data type is stored in a separate data file; the data type is coded into the file name.
