Snow Pit Data from Greenland Summit, 1989 to 1993
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/106.ARCSS049

Summary
Chemistry and isotope information from snow pits dug at the Summit area of
Greenland, 1989-1993 includes major ions (Na, K, Mg, Ca, Cl, NO3, SO4), oxygen
isotopes (18O) and H2O2. Four snow pits were dug and sampled in 1989, three
snow pits in 1990, two in 1991, one in 1992 and one in 1993. All snow pits had
a 3 cm sampling interval except the snow pits in 1990, which had either a 3 cm
or 5 cm sampling interval. Chemistry and isotope information were obtained
from each of the snow pits. The pits and surface snow samples were collected
by the Glacier Research Group (GRG), using established protocols to prevent
contamination. The samples collected in 1991 were analyzed at the Greenland
Ice Sheet Project Two (GISP2) drilling camp. All data except the oxygen
isotope data, which is from the University of Washington, were generated by
GRG at the University of New Hampshire.
