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 Tree
Ring. The data include parameters of tree ring with a geographic location of Arizona, United States Of
America. The time period coverage is from 414 to -59 in calendar years before present (BP). See metadata
information for parameter and study location details. Please cite this study when using the data.
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. For details please see: http://www.ncei.noaa.gov/products/paleoclimatology/tree-ring

ABSTRACT SUPPLIED BY ORIGINATOR: Mexico has suffered a long history and prehistory of severe sustained
drought. Drought over Mexico is modulated by ocean-atmospheric variability in the Atlantic and Pacific,
raising the possibility for long-range seasonal climate forecasting, which could help mediate the economic
and social impacts of future dry spells. The instrumental record of Mexican climate is very limited before
1920, but tree-ring chronologies developed from old-growth forests in Mexico can provide an excellent proxy
representation of the spatial pattern and intensity of past moisture regimes useful for the analysis of
climate dynamics and climate impacts. The Mexican Drought Atlas (MXDA) has been developed from an extensive
network of 252 climate sensitive tree-ring chronologies in and near Mexico. The MXDA reconstructions extend
from 1400 CE-2012 and were calibrated with the instrumental summer (JJA) self-calibrating Palmer Drought
Severity Index (scPDSI) on a 0.5 latitude/longitude grid extending over land areas from 14 to 34N and
75-120W using Ensemble Point-by-Point Regression (EPPR) for the 1944-1984 period. The grid point
reconstructions were validated for the period 1920-1943 against instrumental gridded scPDSI values based on
the fewer weather station observations available during that interval. The MXDA provides a new spatial
perspective on the historical impacts of moisture extremes over Mexico during the past 600-years, including
the Aztec Drought of One Rabbit in 1454, the drought of El Ano de Hambre in 1785-1786, and the drought that
preceded the Mexican Revolution of 1909-1910. The El Nino/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is the most important
ocean-atmospheric forcing of moisture variability detected with the MXDA. In fact, the reconstructions
suggest that the strongest central equatorial Pacific sea surface temperature (SST) teleconnection to the
soil moisture balance over North America may reside in northern Mexico. This ENSO signal has stronger and
more time-stable correlations than computed for either the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation or Pacific
Decadal Oscillation. The extended Multivariate ENSO Index is most highly correlated with reconstructed
scPDSI over northern Mexico, where warm events favor moist conditions during the winter, spring, and early
summer. This ENSO teleconnection to northern Mexico has been strong over the past 150 years, but it has been
comparatively weak and non-stationary in the MXDA over central and southern Mexico where eastern tropical
Pacific and Caribbean/tropical Atlantic SSTs seem to be more important. The ENSO teleconnection to northern
Mexico is weaker in the available instrumental PDSI, but analyses based on the millennium climate
simulations with the Community Earth System Model suggest that the moisture balance during the winter,
spring, and early summer over northern Mexico may indeed be particularly sensitive to ENSO forcing.
Nationwide drought is predicted to become more common with anthropogenic climate change, but the MXDA
reconstructions indicate that intense "All Mexico" droughts have been rare over the past 600 years and their
frequency does not appear to have increased substantially in recent decades.
