Summary:

Records of past temperature, precipitation, atmospheric trace gases, and other aspects of climate and environment derived from ice cores drilled on glaciers and ice caps around the world. Parameter keywords describe what was measured in this data set. Additional summary information can be found in the abstracts of papers listed in the data set citations. Additional information on the Greenland Ice Core Project (GRIP) and the Greenland Ice Sheet Project II (GISP2) are also available (http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/paleo/icecore.html).
