Data sets

Stable water isotopes in snow from a regular sampling of the upper 10 cm at the EastGRIP deep drilling site during the 2018 summer season Alexandra Zuhr et al. https://doi.org/10.1594/PANGAEA.956626

Short summary

We present stable water isotope data from the accumulation zone of the Greenland ice sheet. A spatial sampling scheme covering 39 m and three depth layers was carried out between 14 May and 3 August 2018. The data suggest spatial and temporal variability related to meteorological conditions, such as wind-driven snow redistribution and vapour–snow exchange processes. The data can be used to study the formation of the stable water isotopes signal, which is seen as a climate proxy.
