NOAA/WDS Paleoclimatology - WAIS Divide Core 1,200 Year Atmospheric CO2 and CO2 Stable Isotope Data

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Metadata Last Checked: January 26, 2026 | Last Modified: 2015-04-27T00:00:00.000+00:00
This archived Paleoclimatology Study is available from the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI), under the World Data Service (WDS) for Paleoclimatology. The associated NCEI study type is Ice Core. The data include parameters of paleoclimatic modeling with a geographic location of Antarctica. The time period coverage is from 1217 to 11 in calendar years before present (BP). See metadata information for parameter and study location details. Please cite this study when using the data.
