wais: WAIS oxygen isotope data

Description Usage Format Details Source

Description

A dataset containing the oxygen isotope data of 5 firn cores from the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS), Antarctica, as used in Münch and Laepple (2018).

Usage

1

Format

A data frame with 201 rows and 5 variables where each variable is the time series of oxygen isotope data from one of the firn cores in per mil for the years from 2000 CE to 1800 CE.

Details

Data has been processed from the original source data as documented in the package source (data-raw/load.WAIS.R). Cores included are WDC2005A, ITASE-1999-1, ITASE-2000-1, ITASE-2000-4 and ITASE-2000-5.
