Inert Gases in Firn Air and Shallow Ice at the WAIS Divide Site

Entry ID: severinghaus_0440701

[ Update this Record ]

Summary

Abstract: This data set includes inert and major gases (elemental and isotopic composition) in firn air and occluded air in shallow boreholes from the WAIS Divide site.

The three primary science objectives were:
1) to establish the nature of firn air movement and trapping at the site to aid interpretations of gas data from the deep core;
2) to reconstruct surface temperature over ...
