Winton, V Holly L; Humby, Jack; Jones, Manon; Thomas, Elizabeth R: Surface snow chemistry from the Upper Priestly Glacier, Antarctica [dataset]. PANGAEA, https://doi.pangaea.de/10.1594/PANGAEA.993539 (dataset in review)
Abstract:
This dataset contains surface snow chemistry from the southern side of the Upper Priestly Glacier in Victoria Land, Antarctica. Daily samples were collected between 2-14 January 2024 from the top 1 cm of the snowpack. They were analysed for anion and cation concentrations using ion chromatography. Here we report concentrations of fluoride, methanesulfonic acid, chloride, bromide, nitrate, sulfate, acetate, formate, oxalate, sodium, ammonium, potassium, magnesium and calcium. The daily concentration data will help understand aerosol transport and deposition processes to the Upper Priestly Glacier site and interpret longer chemical records from ice cores.
