High temporal resolution, continuous ice core measurements for WAIS Divide (WDC05A, WDC05Q)
Entry ID: mcconnell_0538427

[ Update this Record ]

Summary
Abstract: Nearly continuous, monthly averaged measurements of hydrogen peroxide, nitrate, liquid conductivity, and 12 elements (Na, Mg, Al, S, Ca, Mn, Fe, Rb, Sr, Ce, Pb, and U) for two intermediate depth ice cores collected at WAIS Divide in late 2005. Annual markers in the chemical records were identified (primarily hydrogen peroxide and the nssSulfur to Sodium ratio). Monthly depths in each year were ... View entire text
