Dronning Maud Land Ice Core Chemistry Data
Entry ID: NSIDC-0250

[ Update this Record ]

Summary
Abstract: This data set consists of chemistry data obtained from a shallow core in Dronning Maud Land, Antarctica. Major ion concentration values (Na, Mg, Ca, Cl, NO3, SO4, MSA) were analyzed from the 20 meter ice core, which was drilled during the austral summer 1991-1992.
Quality The data are provisional and subject to change as model improvements are implemented and new input data sets become available. Due to the fact that forcing data for Greenland are unreliable and the lack of a glacier/ice sheet model, snow water equivalent accumulates indefinitely in Greenland and a few other Arctic points. Therefore it is highly recommended that Greenland and other points with abnormally large snow water equivalent values be masked out when performing global analyses.
