Summary
Abstract: The Antarctic Vostok ice core provided compelling evidence of the nature of
climate, and of climate feedbacks, over the past 420,000 years. Marine records
suggest that the amplitude of climate variability was smaller before that time,
but such records are often poorly resolved. Moreover, it is not possible to
infer the abundance of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere from marine records.

Description:  Measured parameters from the EPICA Dome C ice core, on an ice depth scale.
a, dD, averaged over 3.85-m sections. b, Grain radius, measured approximately
every 10 m. c, Dust concentration-below 787 m, there is one sample every 5.5 m;
above that, one sample every 1.5 m. d, Electrical data (as discussed in the
Methods), in 1-m averages. Termination V is marked by an arrow in a.
