Summary: | Between 1733 and 1895, a total of 35 additional volcanic eruptions were detected in the new high-resolution measurements (D4i dataset: "Greenland ice-core non-sea-salt sulfur concentrations and calculated volcanic sulfate deposition (1733-1900 CE)" (PANGAEA, doi:10.1594/PANGAEA.960977) of the D4 ice core (McConnel et al., 2007). For the same time period only 25 volcanic eruptions had previously been detected using an ice-core array from Greenland (including NEEM-2011-S1 and NGRIP) and Antarctica, making up the eVolv2k database [Toohey and Sigl, 2017]. 21 volcanic events in D4i are found to match events in the eVolv2k database, 8 tropical events and 13 Northern Hemisphere extratropical (NHET) events. Based on linear fits of eVolv2k volcanic stratospheric sulfur injections (VSSI) to the cumulative D4i sulfate deposition rates, we derive scaling factors to convert D4i volcanic sulfate depositions to VSSI. Fits are of high quality with R2 values of 0.91 and 0.99 for tropical and extratropical events, ... : This study complements the Dataset doi:10.1594/PANGAEA.960977, which describes in detail the ice-core data used to infer the VSSI in this dataset. ... |
