WAIS Divide ice core nitrate isotopes

This dataset contains measurements of nitrate oxygen (D17O) and nitrogen (d15N) isotopes from the WAIS Divide ice core (WDC06A). The time resolution is variable throughout the record. The data includes 15 discreet samples between 2900 - 67,000 years before 1950 and 305 continuous measurements betwee...

Description
Summary:This dataset contains measurements of nitrate oxygen (D17O) and nitrogen (d15N) isotopes from the WAIS Divide ice core (WDC06A). The time resolution is variable throughout the record. The data includes 15 discreet samples between 2900 - 67,000 years before 1950 and 305 continuous measurements between 36,000-52,000 years before 1950. The depth range is 700 - 3401 m. Each sample covered 1 m depth. The time resolution ranged from 5 years/m at the top to 200 years/m at the bottom.
