Climate of the Past, 13, 1815-1830, 10.5194/cp-13-1815-2017 information crossReference sciencePaper eng; USA geoscientificInformation Date Range: 60829 cal yr BP to 6002 cal yr BP; 106.8 106.8 -78.47 -78.47 Study Coordinates -78.47 106.8 -58879 -4052 STUDY NOTES: This is NOT the AICC2012 gas age scale. Gas ages below depth of 912m were obtained with a simple extrapolation and without tie points. They are then poorly constrained. As explained in the corresponding paper, this section exhibits mainy abnormal layers whose values should not be interpreted as climatic information. We therefore provide the raw dataset with artifacts from anomalous layers, and a corrected dataset without said artifacts. ABSTRACT SUPPLIED BY ORIGINATOR: We investigate for the first time the loss and alteration of past atmospheric information from air trapping mechanisms under low-accumulation conditions through continuous CH4 (and CO) measurements. Methane concentration changes were measured over the Dansgaard-Oeschger event 17 (DO-17, - 60 000 yr BP) in the Antarctic Vostok 4G-2 ice core. Measurements were performed using continuous-flow analysis combined with laser spectroscopy. The results highlight many anomalous layers at the centimeter scale that are unevenly distributed along the ice core. The anomalous methane mixing ratios differ from those in the immediate surrounding layers by up to 50 ppbv. This phenomenon can be theoretically reproduced by a simple layered trapping model, creating very localized gas age scale inversions. We propose a method for cleaning the record of anomalous values that aims at minimizing the bias in the overall signal. Once the layered-trapping-induced anomalies are removed from the record, DO-17 appears to be smoother than its equivalent record from the high-accumulation WAIS Divide ice core. This is expected due to the slower sinking and densification speeds of firn layers at lower accumulation. However, the degree of smoothing appears surprisingly similar between modern and DO-17 conditions at Vostok. This suggests that glacial records of trace gases from low-accumulation sites in the East Antarctic plateau can provide a better time resolution of past atmospheric composition changes than previously expected. We also developed a numerical method to extract the gas age distributions in ice layers after the removal of the anomalous layers based on comparison with a weakly smoothed record. It is particularly adapted for the conditions of the East Antarctic plateau, as it helps to characterize smoothing for a large range of very low-temperature and low-accumulation conditions.
