Aromatic acid (vanillic acid and para-hydroxybenzoic acid) data for the past 800 years from Lomonosovfonna, Svalbard are included. The ice core was drilled in 2009 to a depth of 149.5 m (Wendl et al., 2015). The datasets contain ages, depths, and concentrations of the acids. Vanillic acid was measured two mass transitions, 167-108 and 167-152, with limits of detection of 0.010 and 0.006 ppb, by mass, respectively. para-Hydroxybenzoic acid was measured at mass transition, 137-93, with a limit of detection of 0.012 ppb, by mass. The limit of detection is defined as 3x the standard deviation of MilliQ water blanks. The timescale used was developed by Wendl et al. (2015).
