Byrd Ice Core Microparticle and Chemistry Data

Abstract: This data set consists of microparticle and chemistry data from Byrd Ice Core, the first ice core to reach bedrock in Antarctica. The core was drilled with a cable-suspended electromechanical rotary drill at Byrd Station, Antarctica. The vertical thickness of the ice was 2164 meters and more than 99 percent of the core was recovered. Cores were sought for investigations of the physical properties of the ice sheet, the nature of the ice-rock contact, and the composition of the underlying bedrock.摘要：本数据集包含取自伯德冰芯（Byrd Ice Core）的微粒数据与化学数据，该冰芯是南极地区首支钻至基岩的冰芯。这支冰芯于南极伯德站（Byrd Station）采用电缆悬挂式机电旋转钻机钻取。其冰体垂直厚度达2164米，冰芯回收率超过99%。获取该冰芯的目的在于研究冰盖的物理性质、冰-岩接触特性以及下伏基岩的组成。
