Regional Survey of Greenland, 1988 - Snow Pit Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/106.ARCSS046

Summary
This dataset contains information from two 2-meter snow pits, five 4-meter
snow pits, and two 6-meter snow pits, all dug in 1988 from selected sites in
Greenland, and includes chemistry (H+), stable isotopes (Ca, Cl, Na, K, Mg,
NH4, NO3, SO4, MSA), oxygen isotope information (18O) and radionuclide
information. Surface snow samples were also extracted from the 6-meter snow
pits. All snow pits had a 3-cm sampling interval. The pits and surface snow
samples were collected by the Glacier Research Group (GRG), using established
protocols to prevent contamination. All data except the oxygen isotope data,
which is from the University of Washington, were generated by GRG at the
University of New Hampshire.
