This study examines the stable water isotope signal ( δ 18 O ) of three ice cores drilled on the Renland peninsula (east Greenland coast). While ice core δ 18 O measurements qualitatively are a measure of the local temperature history, the δ 18 O variability in precipitation actually reflects the in...
