Notes: 
Most of this collection of QUAL raw ring widths was made by N. Pederson 
on the upper eastern ridge on Schunnemunk Mountain, near Highland Mills NY. 
These data were collected for a dendroecological study of southern temperate 
trees growing at or near a northern range margin. While the oldest trees 
in the stand were targeted, the goal of field sampling was to collect 
a range of existing tree ages within the stand. The stand in which they 
are sampled primarily has shallow soil depth, although there are areas 
with pockets of deep soil. The forest was dense at the time of sampling 
and is old-growth forest. Because of this, detrending of these raw data 
should be conducted with closed-canopy or forest interior conditions 
and forest disturbance in mind. 

This is a 2001 update of the original NY002 collection in the ITRDB:
http://hurricane.ncdc.noaa.gov/pls/paleox/f?p=519:1:::::P1_STUDY_ID:2966

The raw data in this collection contains values of -8888 for years where 
the rings were distorted or otherwise not useful for dendroclimatology. 
The latest version of ARSTAN reads these as dummy variables and can 
in-fill these gaps.
