Snow Pit and Ice Core Data from Southern Greenland, 1984  View Catalog Page Entry ID
ARCSS027
Summary
This collection includes surface snow sample, snow pit, and ice core data from summer of 1984 in Greenland (location - 65 degrees 6 minutes north, 44 degrees 52 minutes west, 2625 m a.s.l.). The data describe concentrations of major ions (Cl, Ca, Mg, K, Na, NO3, SO4), iron +3 (Fe) and oxygen isotopes (18O). Samples were obtained by the Glacier Research Group (GRG) and analyzed at a lab at the University of New Hampshire (UNH).
