Law Dome, Dome Summit South ice core accumulation composite series

This file comprises three main records compiled for publication in the following:                    van Ommen, T. D. and V. Morgan (2010). Snowfall increase in coastal East Antarctica linked with southwest Western Australian drought, Nature Geoscience, Advance Online Publication, doi:10.1038/NGEO761                The records are:                    1 - a primary Law Dome Accumulation series covering AD1248-2005                    2 - a alternate lower fidelity Law Dome Accumulation series over the same time-span                    3 - a derived meteorological data set - the "AZ3 Index", which is an Australian Sector Zonal Wave 3 index computed from NCEP Reanalysis data                    The Law Dome accumulation series are constructed from data from segments of 6 individual cores (and a pit) as follows:                    The data here are best values a the time of publication. Further coring will result in extension of the series beyond the present 2005 cut-off date, and may also lead to small changes in pre-2006 accumulation values as overlapping core segments provide for more robust estimates.                                                              Core    Date Started    Lat (S)    Lon (E)    Max Depth (m)    Years in Accumulation recordDSS Main 26/12/1987    66 46.183'    112 48.417'    422.6    AD 1248-1986W0k    15/02/1996    66 46.567'    112 48.083'    36.1    AD 1963-1995DSS97    10/11/1997    66 46.633'    112 48.683'    95.5    AD 1888-1995S0k    29/02/2000    66 46.183'    112 48.550'    9.1    AD 1993-1999DSS0405    31/10/2004    66 46.614'    112 48.417'    10.3    AD 1997-2004DSS0506    8/11/2005    66 46.334'    112 48.430'    22.5    AD 1987-2004DSS0506Pit 16/11/2005    66 46.175'    112 48.687'    1.6    AD 2005
