A doubling in snow accumulation in the western Antarctic Peninsula since 1850

We present results from a new medium depth (136 metres) ice core drilled in a high accumulation site (73.59S,70.36W) on the south-western Antarctic Peninsula during 2007. The Gomez record reveals a doubling of accumulation since the 1850s, from a decadal average of 0.49 mweq y1 in 1855–1864 to 1.10...
