We present data obtained from 10 and 20 m deep firn cores drilled between the coast and 600 km inland (to 3450 m a.s.l.). The cores were analyzed for electrical conductivity measurements and total β activity to obtain accumulation data between known time horizons. In addition, some of the cores were analyzed for oxygen isotopes. Annual accumulation varies from 271 mm we. at Fimbulisen to 24 mm we at 2840 m a.s.l. Accumulation at core sites 2400-3000 m a.s.l. has increased by 16-48% since 1965 compared to the 1955-65 period. However, the core sites above 3250 m a.s.l. and one core location on the ice shelf show a decrease during the same period. Furthermore, no change can be detected at the most inland site for the period 1815-1996. In all the cores the last few years seem to have been some of the warmest in these records. #--------------------------------------- # Funding_Agency # Funding_Agency_Name: European Science Foundation/European Commission # Grant: ENV4-CT95-0074 #--------------------------------------- # Site Information # Site_Name: S20 Dronning Maud Land Fimbulisen # Location: Antarctica # Country: # Northernmost_Latitude: -70.2472 # Southernmost_Latitude: -70.2472 # Easternmost_Longitude: 4.8183 # Westernmost_Longitude: 4.8183 # Elevation: 63 #--------------------------------------- # Data_Collection # Collection_Name: S20 accum Isaksson1999 # First_Year: 1956 # Last_Year: 1996 # Time_Unit: AD # Core_Length: 10 # Notes: #--------------------------------------- # Chronology_Information # Chronology: # # Ant2k volcanic event peak date (CE) Depth of volcanic peak in cores (m) # #--------------------------------------- # Variables # Data variables follow that are preceded by "##" in columns one and two. # Variables list, one per line, shortname-tab-longname components (9 components: what, material, error, units, seasonality, archive, detail, method, C or N for Character or Numeric data) ## year age,,,years CE,,ice core,,,N,annual counting by dO18, electrical conductivity ## accum accumulation rate,snow,,kg/m2/yr,,ice core,,,N,calculated from annual dating from dO18 stratigraphy #------------------------ # Data # Data lines follow (have no #) # Data line format - tab-delimited text, variable short name as header # Missing Value: NaN year accum 1996 359.4 1995 350 1994 328 1993 273 1992 412 1991 105 1990 332 1989 58 1988 158 1987 165 1986 262 1985 202 1984 266 1983 178 1982 125 1981 247 1980 354 1979 310 1978 197 1977 490 1976 349 1975 285 1974 439 1973 158 1972 457 1971 314 1970 298 1969 96 1968 291 1967 110 1966 263 1965 263 1964 147 1963 329 1962 176 1961 264 1960 224 1959 387 1958 435 1957 427 1956 231
