Black carbon (rBC), bismuth, lead and others from 1741 to 2015 AD from Colle Gnifetti ice core (Swiss/Italian Alps) ...

We present sub-annually resolved concentration records of refractory black carbon (rBC; using soot photometry) as well as distinctive tracers for mineral dust (calcium, sulfate, sodium), biomass burning (ammonium) and industrial pollution (lead, bismuth, ammonium, nitrate) from the Colle Gnifetti (4...

Description
Summary:We present sub-annually resolved concentration records of refractory black carbon (rBC; using soot photometry) as well as distinctive tracers for mineral dust (calcium, sulfate, sodium), biomass burning (ammonium) and industrial pollution (lead, bismuth, ammonium, nitrate) from the Colle Gnifetti (4450 m asl; 45.932°N, 7.876°E) ice core in the Alps from 1741-2015 AD. The data is a composite of two ice cores: CG03B drilled in 2003; CG15 drilled in 2015 at the same site. ... : Supplement to: Sigl, Michael; Abram, Nerilie J; Gabrieli, Jacopo; Jenk, Theo M; Osmont, Dimitri; Schwikowski, Margit (2018): 19th century glacier retreat in the Alps preceded the emergence of industrial black carbon deposition on high-alpine glaciers.
