| Summary: | This dataset contains measurements of two aromatic acids, vanillic acid and para-hydroxybenzoic acid, in an ice core from Lomonosovfonna, Svalbard. The ice core was drilled in 2009 to a depth of 149.5 m, and the ice ranges in age over the past 800 years (Wendl et al., 2015). The datasets contain ages, depths, and concentrations reported as parts-per-billion by weight (ppb). The analyses were made using ion chromatography with electrospray tandem mass spectrometry in negative ion mode. Vanillic acid was measured at two mass transitions (167-108; 167-152) with limits of detection of 0.010 and 0.006 ppb, respectively. para-Hydroxybenzoic acid was measured at mass transition 137-93, with a limit of detection of 0.012 ppb.
