Institutes involved in drilling, processing and funding: Heidelberg University (D), Institute of Environmental Physics (leading institute); University of Bern (CH), Physics Institute, Climate and Environmental Physics (Remo Walther, Samuel Marending, Jakob Schwander); University of Maine (US), Climate Change Institute; University of Fribourg (CH); Alfred-Wegener-Institut Helmholtz-Zentrum für Meeres- und Polarforschung (D). Recovery and analysis of the KCC ice core, associated written records, and interpretation were supported by the Arcadia Fund of London, Harvard University, Initiative for the Science of the Human Past.
Comment:
Dataset corresponds to Figure 3 in the final manuscript. Annually averaged ICP-MS/IC measurements from 1780-2006 C.E. analyzed using a principle component analysis from the sci-kit (v0.20.2) module in Python3.6
