A 320 k-year record of microparticles in the Dome Fuji, Antarctica ice core measured by laser-light scattering (scientific paper)
A laser-light scattering method was evaluated from the viewpoint of the measurement ability of concentration and size distribution of microparticles in molten ice core samples. It was demonstrated that analysis can be performed with 10 % accuracy by diluting the sample with ultrapure water by 50 times to eliminate coincidence loss. Using this method, the concentration and size distribution of microparticles were determined on 2829 samples from a 2503 m deep ice core drilled at Dome Fuji, Antarctica. The present paper shows the profiles of number and volume concentrations through the whole depth and the changes in the size distribution through three glacial cycles in the past 320 k-years
Chemical characteristics in a 22-m ice core on the Belukha Glacier, Russia
To better understand how the chemical composition of a glacier in an inland continental region relates to the local climate, we collected ice core samples from the Belukha Glacier, Russia, in July 2001. We analyzed the samples for pH, anions, and cations. The primary soluble ions were SO42-, NO3-, NH4+, Ca2+, and HCOO-. Moreover, we argue the following. 1) Ca2+ and its equivalent SO42-+ NO3- likely originated from terrestrial dust such as soil. 2) HCOO- and its equivalent NH4+ likely originated from vegetation and/or biomass burning. 3) The remaining SO42-+NO3- and NH4+ likely originated from livestock, commercial fertilizers, and natural fertilizers. 4) The NH4+ concentration was low when there was no contribution from vegetation and/or biomass burning
