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.
