Abstract:Polar researchers spend enormous costs transporting snow and ice samples to home laboratories for "simple" analyses in order to constrain annual layer thicknesses and identifying accumulation rates of specific sites. It is well known that depositional noise, incurred from wind drifts, seasonally-biased deposition, melt layers and more, can influence individual snow and firn records and that multiple cores are required to produce statistically robust time series. Thus at many sites core samples are measured in … Show more
