Air Masses and Tree Rings

This data set contains:

1) Tree-ring data (TRWdata_NHonly),
2) Fully-trained ensembles of artifical neural network models (ANNmodelsV07_TP-PCA-NHonly) based upon air masses (ANNmdlAM) and temperature and precipitation data (ANNmdlWX),
3) GWTC-2 air mass data (AMdata_NHonly), and
4) Monthly mean temperature (column 1), dewpoint (column 2 - un-used), and precipitation (column 3) data from TerraClimate (WXdata-NHonly)

All of the above are saved in MatLab file format (.mat), and were used in the following research:
