With mean annual accumulation estimated to be 20-30 cm ice equivalent accumulation throughout the length of the core (~295 m), MBS represents a high resolution archive of ice core data spanning 1137 years (873 - 2009 CE), from an area previously underrepresented by high resolution ice core data.

The dataset consists of meltwater electrolytic conductivity, sodium (Na+), ammonium (NH4+), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), and insoluble microparticle measurements. The data are presented in three datasets: as a 1 mm depth resolution record, 3 cm averaged record, and decadally averaged record (based on the MBS2023 chronology). The 1 mm record represents an oversampling of the true resolution, as due to smoothing effects the actual resolution is closer to 3 cm for some species. Therefore, the 3 cm resolution dataset is considered to be the minimum true resolution given the system setup. We also describe the current Copenhagen CFA system, and provide a detailed assessment of data quality, precision, and functional resolution.A full description of the dataset is provided in Harlan et al., 2024 (in prep).Acknowledgements: We would like to acknowledge significant contributions from Paul Vallelonga.

Full description

Abstract: The Mount Brown South ice core (MBS 69.111 S, 86.312 E) is a new, high resolution ice core drilled in coastal East Antarctica. With mean annual accumulation estimated to be 20-30 cm ice equivalent accumulation throughout the length of the core (~295 m), MBS represents a high resolution archive of ice core data spanning 1137 years (873 - 2009 CE), from an area previously underrepresented by high resolution ice core data.

Here, we present a high-resolution dataset of chemistry and impurities obtained via continuous flow analysis (CFA), measured at the Physics of Ice, Climate, and Earth at the Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen. The dataset consists of meltwater electrolytic conductivity, sodium (Na+), ammonium (NH4+), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), and insoluble microparticle measurements. The data are presented in three datasets: as a 1 mm depth resolution record, 3 cm averaged record, and decadally averaged record (based on the MBS2023 chronology). The 1 mm record represents an oversampling of the true resolution, as due to smoothing effects the actual resolution is closer to 3 cm for some species. Therefore, the 3 cm resolution dataset is considered to be the minimum true resolution given the system setup. We also describe the current Copenhagen CFA system, and provide a detailed assessment of data quality, precision, and functional resolution.
