Snow Profiles of stable water isotopes at the EastGRIP deep drilling site, summer seasons 2016 - 2019 ...

Throughout the summer seasons 2016 to 2019 snow profiles were taken repeatedly. The sample positions are aligned along a 300 m wind-parallel transect at the EastGRIP ice core deep drilling site. The snow was collected at 6 positions with a 20 – 50 m spacing. Snow was sampled using carbon fiber tubes...

Description
Summary:Throughout the summer seasons 2016 to 2019 snow profiles were taken repeatedly. The sample positions are aligned along a 300 m wind-parallel transect at the EastGRIP ice core deep drilling site. The snow was collected at 6 positions with a 20 – 50 m spacing. Snow was sampled using carbon fiber tubes of 1-m length that were pushed gently into the snow. A maximum compaction of 1 cm was observed during extraction. The snow cores were carefully removed from the carbon fiber tubes on the cutting table. The core was then cut into slices of 1 cm thickness for the upper 10 cm and 2 cm thickness for the lower 90 cm. The samples were placed into Whirl-Pak® bags and closed airtight. The samples were shipped frozen to the Alfred-Wegener-Institut and stored at -25 °C. Prior to measurements, the samples were melted in the sample bags at room temperature. For the measurement of the isotopic composition, the instruments Picarro L2120-i, L2130-I and L2140-i were used. The measurement set-up followed the Van-Geldern protocol ...
