World’s Weather Prediction via Tree Ring Method Proposed
Dr. A. E. Douglas of Steward Observatory in Arizona claims tree ring dating reveals 20 year climate cycles and 2,000 year rainfall patterns. He asserts this could yield long range weather forecasts benefitting agriculture and commerce, with Prescott records dating to 1867 and 500 years of local pine growth. He notes 85 percent resemblance between tree data and rainfall, and says the research may soon produce actionable statements for farmers and merchants.
