edcCO2: EPICA Dome C Ice Core 800KYr Carbon Dioxide Data

In mcrucifix/pleistocene: Datasets of glacial cycles (ice and ocean)

Description

A composite record for CO2 using the EDC3\_gas\_a timescale, based on the following sources:

0-22 kyr	Dome C (Monnin et al. 2001) measured at University of Bern
22-393 kyr	Vostok (Petit et al. 1999; Pepin et al. 2001; Raynaud et al. 2005) measured at LGGE in Grenoble
393-416 kyr	Dome C (Siegenthaler et al. 2005) measured at LGGE in Grenoble
416-664 kyr	Dome C (Siegenthaler et al. 2005) measured at University of Bern
664-800 kyr	Dome C (Luethi et al. (sub)) measured at University of Bern
