A Simple Method to Correct Carbon Dioxide Concentrations in Ice Core Data for Ice / Gas Age Difference Perturbations. (For Discussion)
Presented here is a simple approach for the compensation of perturbations in ice-core carbon dioxide time reconstructions resulting from ice/gas age differences. The method uses the correlation between the ice/gas age difference and measured carbon dioxide concentrations to predict the concentration...

| Summary: | Presented here is a simple approach for the compensation of perturbations in ice-core carbon dioxide time reconstructions resulting from ice/gas age differences. The method uses the correlation between the ice/gas age difference and measured carbon dioxide concentrations to predict the concentrations at zero ice/gas difference. This prediction is then applied to compensate the data. It significantly reduces the perturbations and effectively references the data to the ice age. |
