dplR (version 1.8.0)

wa082: Hurricane Ridge, Pacific silver fir

Description

This data set gives the raw ring widths for Pacific silver fir Abies amabilis at Hurricane Ridge in Washington, USA. There are 23 series. Data set was created using read.rwl and saved to an .rda file using save.

The source file records no measurement for series 712011 in the year 1900, holding the value -999 there. This data set was built before read.tucson distinguished a missing measurement from a ring width of zero, and that cell holds a zero. It has been left as it is for continuity with earlier versions of dplR. Reading the source file today gives NA in that cell; passing fill.internal.NA = 0 to read.tucson reproduces this data set exactly.

Usage

data(wa082)

Format

A data.frame containing 23 tree-ring series in columns and 286 years in rows.
