The potential ice core proxies of variability in oceanic and atmospheric conditions over the Ross Sea were evaluated. This study examined sea salt sodium (ss–Na + ) and biogenic sulfur (methanesulfonate, MS – ) records, covering 23 years between 1990 and 2012, from two firn cores drilled on the Styx...
