Dust concentrationDust concµg/kgPetit, Jean RobertCoulter counterThe dust concentration was calculated from the total volume concentration (from Coulter counter measurements), and assuming a dust density of 2.500 Kg. m-3. Data from Petit et al (1990), Jouzel et al. (1993) down to 2545 m depth have been included.
