Dome Summit South glacial ice trace ionic composition data from the 2015-2016 season

These data were collected from the drilling site at Dome Summit South (DSS) on Law Dome in East Antarctica. The DSS site is on Law Dome, a prominent ice dome located about 120 km from Casey Station. The site receives a high rate of snow accumulation which helps create a very detailed climate record.The DSS1516_Glacial ice trace ionic composition_DMP_submit.xlsx is the measured trace ionic composition data for the "DSS" (Dome Summit South) Law Dome ice core (DSS1516) collected during the Antarctic 15/16 season.Column descriptions:Sample Name: - Sample identifierSample Top Depth (m): - Measured top depth (m) of sampleSample Bottom Depth (m): - Measured bottom depth (m) of sampleMid sample depth (m): - Calculated mid depth (m) of sampleMSA - Methansulphonic acid (MSA) concentration dataCl - Cl- concentration dataNO3 - NO3- concentration dataSO4 - SO42- concentration dataNa - Na+ concentration dataK - K+ concentration dataMg - Mg2+ concentration dataCa - Ca2+ concentration data    Location: - Lat -66 degrees 46'23", Long 112 degrees 48' 41"Date drilled: 11/02/2016, using Kovac shallow ice corer    Lab work: - Trace ionic composition was determined using suppressed ion chromatography (IC) with conductivity detection and ultra-clean sample preparation
