Sources | (a, b) data source: Herron 1982; modified from Barrie 1986. Each point is a multi-year average over a period of 2-37 years. The same sample in this century is emphasized with a cross. (c) data source: Neftel et al. 1985 Agassiz icecap, Canada (inferred from conductivity by Barrie et al. 1985). The Neftel curves represent cubic spline fits reported by the authors (modified from Barrie et al. 1985). Herron, M.M., 1982.
