Coverage:
Latitude: -75.100000 * Longitude: 123.350000
Date/Time Start: 1993-01-01T00:00:00 * Date/Time End: 2004-12-31T00:00:00
Minimum DEPTH, ice/snow: 6.90 m * Maximum DEPTH, ice/snow: 3189.40 m
Event(s):
EDC (EPICA Dome C) * Latitude: -75.100000 * Longitude: 123.350000 * Date/Time Start: 1993-01-01T00:00:00 * Date/Time End: 2004-12-31T00:00:00 * Elevation: 3233.0 m * Recovery: 3300 m * Location: Dome C, Antarctica * Campaign: Dome C * Method/Device: Ice drill (ICEDRILL) * Comment: Drill site is 56 km from the site of a previous Dome C core that provided records extending into the last glacial period, and 560 km from the site of the Vostok cores. The completion of the Dome C core was delayed when the first drilling became stuck at 788 m in 1999 (EDC96).
Comment:
The file "EDC_CaDustConc_1cm.dat" contains the EPICA Dome C Calcium (in ppb), insoluble dust (in P/ml), and non-sea-salt Calcium (in ppb) on depth and EDC3 age scale. Note that the complete Ca and nssCa concentration datasets are present in this file, whereas some low concentration data were discarded in the paper.
