Extending and understanding the South West Western Australian rainfall record using the Dome Summit South ice core, East Antarctica
Maintenance and Update Frequency: notPlanned Statement: The South West Western Australia (SWWA) growing season (May to October) rainfall was reconstructed based on a statistically significant negative correlation between SWWA rainfall and snowfall at Dome Summit South (DSS), East Antarctica.
