TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present highly resolved, annually dated, calibrated proxies for atmospheric circulation from several Antarctic ice cores (ITASE) that reveal decadalscale associations with a South Pole ice-core 10 Be proxy for solar variability over the last 600 years and annual scale associations with solar variability since AD 1720.

TL;DR: A 700-year, high-resolution, multivariate ice core record from Dome Summit South (DSS) (66°46′S, 112°48′E; 1370 m), Law Dome, is used to investigate sea level pressure (SLP) variability in the region of East Antarctica.
Journal ArticleDOI
Methanesulphonic acid (MSA) stratigraphy from a Talos Dome ice core as a tool in depicting sea ice changes and southern atmospheric circulation over the previous 140 years

TL;DR: In this article, a spectral analysis was applied to the MSA, SOI (South Oscillation Index), and SAM (Southern Annular Mode) record, and the results showed a strong positive correlation and are synchronous with corresponding SOI periodicity, indicating that marine biogenic activity enhanced by large sea ice cover is an important factor in controlling MSA concentration in snow precipitation at Talos Dome.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Method for Continuous 239Pu Determinations in Arctic and Antarctic Ice Cores
Monica M. Arienzo,Joseph R. McConnell,Nathan Chellman,A. S. Criscitiello,Mark A. J. Curran,Mark A. J. Curran,Diedrich Fritzsche,Sepp Kipfstuhl,Robert Mulvaney,Matt Nolan,Thomas Opel,Michael Sigl,J-P Steffensen +12 more
TL;DR: A new method for continuous semiquantitative measurement of (239)Pu in ice cores was used to develop annual records of fallout from NWT in ten ice cores from Greenland and Antarctica, reducing analysis time and increasing depth-resolution with respect to previous methods.

TL;DR: In this article, a total of 80 ice core snow accumulation records were gathered, as part of a community led project coordinated by the PAGES Antarctica 2k working group, with the ice cores assigned to seven geographical regions, separating the high accumulation coastal zones below 2000'm elevation from the dry central Antarctic plateau.
