Summary
Abstract: The CO2 records presented here are derived from three ice cores
obtained at Law Dome, East Antarctica from 1987 to 1993. The Law Dome
site satisfies many of the desirable characteristics of an ideal ice
core site for atmospheric CO2 reconstructions including negligible
melting of the ice sheet surface, low concentrations of impurities,
regular stratigraphic layering undisturbed at the surface by ... View entire text
