Summary
Abstract: This data represents one thousand years of atmospheric methane concentrations.
Methane concentrations was measured in air bubbles from 1008-1980 in Antarctic
ice cores, and from 1075-1885 in Greenland ice cores. Air in firn samples from
1978 to 1993 are also included as well as archived air samples from Cape Grim,
Tasmania for the years 1978-1995.

Chrono Unit:
Quality The quality of the data varies depending on the registered parameter. The
radiation measurements are data integrated every 24 hours, hourly averages and
maximum and minimum values. The temperature registries are hour averages,
maximum and minimum values. The relative humidity is an hourly average, maximum
and minimum values. The precipitations are data integrated every 24 hours and
the route of the wind corresponds to an integration of all the campaign.
Access Constraints Restricted, with the approval of the main investigator
Use Constraints All the scientific data of this report are original and they have not been
published, therefore they can not be reproduced nor to be used in any form
without the authorization of the project leader.
