Description
Summary:All published datasets from the ice core paleoclimatology (ICP) group at the Byrd Polar and Climate Research Center (BPCRC) are archived in the NOAA-NCEI Paleoclimatology Database (https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/access/paleo-search/?dataTypeId=7). However, the formatting of these datasets is not consistent across the archival files, making it difficult to download and aggregate multiple datasets for research purposes. This repository is intended to provide a simple, consistently formatted archive of Excel files containing the published data for more than 16 ice core records collected by the BPCRC-ICP group since the 1980s. These files can be accessed directly in MATLAB with the assistance of the Byrd-ICP Data App, downloadable on Github (https://github.com/weber1158/Byrd-ICP-Data-App). The file "2023-ByrdICP-datasets.xlsx " contains a column for each ice core location and a list of the sheet names within the corresponding Excel file for that ice core location. V1.1.0. Fixed column-duplication issue in the Puncak Jaya rainfall isotope data.
