Comment:
Measured at University of Washingtons Quaternary Isotope Laboratory. Timescale (down to 2808 m) includes revisions by Meese as of Sept 1994. Depths below 167 m are D core; above 167 meters depths are B core+1.09 meters. Depth is top of interval.

3δ18O, waterδ18O H2O‰ SMOWGrootes, Pieter MeiertMean delta 18-O values over 2 meter intervals starting at top depths. Standard deviation in a single delta 18-O measurement is 0.14 per mil. Multiple measurements reduce the standard deviation to the 0.05 to 0.1 per mil range. Data measured at the University of Washington's Quaternary Isotope Laboratory, as of February 1st, 1997. The GISP2 depths below 167 meters are those of the D core; above 167 meters the core depths are those of the B core +1.09 meters.
