Accumulation at South Pole: Comparison of two 900-year records
This is the published version, also available here: http://dx.doi.org/10.1029/1999JD900501. Two 900-year records of annual accumulation at South Pole are compared to evaluate the origin and significance of observed variations. Despite difficulties establishing absolute timescales, due to problems id...
