Documentation Access Data
This data set is part of the WAISCORES project, an NSF-funded project to understand the influence of the West Antarctic ice sheet on climate and sea level change. WAISCORES researchers acquired and analyzed ice cores from the Siple Dome, in the Siple Coast region, West Antarctica. Saltzman analyzed Siple Dome ice cores for methane (MSA) and carbonyl sulfide (OCS). The methane analysis was done on cores A-E and a hot water core, and the carbonyl sulfide analysis was done on 11 C cores. Methane data include the sample identification number, depth, and methane parts per billion (ppb) of each sample. Carbonyl sulfide data include the depth, OCS parts per trillion (ppt) of each sample, percent error, and gas age (years).
