Greenland and Antarctica ice samples were analyzed for size distribution of the particlate content. Samples are from Little America V, age 800 yr; Byrd Station, age 1340 yr; Byrd Station, age 450 yr; and Site 2, Greenland, age 220 yr. Particle concentration is lower in the younger Byrd samples than...
