Dataset - "Ice core evidence for a 20th century increase in surface mass balance in coastal Dronning Maud Land, East Antarctica"

We provide in this dataset the isotopic and ionic records from a 120 m-long ice core drilled at the summit of Derwael ice rise (70°14'44.88'' S, 26°20'5.64'' E) situated in coastal Dronning Maud Land, East Antarctica. Ions concentrations (Na+, MSA, Cl-, SO42- and NO3-) and water stable isotopes (δ18O, δD and d-excess) are presented for the top 103 meters (corresponding to 1815 and the Tambora eruption) with a continuous record for the water stable isotopes and discontinuous sections for ions concentrations. A complementary database “Annual layer thicknesses and age-depth (oldest estimate) of Derwael Ice Rise (IC12), Dronning Maud Land, East Antarctica” with age model and annual layer thickness is available at https://doi.org/10.1594/PANGAEA.857574 and the companion paper is Philippe et al., 2016 (“Ice core evidence for a 20th century increase in surface mass balance in coastal Dronning Maud Land, East Antarctica”, https://doi.org/10.5194/tc-10-2501-2016).
