Surface snow chemistry from the Upper Priestly Glacier, Antarctica

DOI

This dataset contains surface snow chemistry from the southern side of the Upper Priestly Glacier in Victoria Land, Antarctica. Daily samples were collected between 2-14 January 2024 from the top 1 cm of the snowpack during the TNB-2324 campaign. They were analysed for anion and cation concentrations using ion chromatography (Dionex, Integrion HPIC System). Here we report concentrations of fluoride, methanesulfonic acid, chloride, bromide, nitrate, sulfate, acetate, formate, oxalate, sodium, ammonium, potassium, magnesium and calcium. The daily concentration data will help understand aerosol transport and deposition processes to the Upper Priestly Glacier site and interpret longer chemical records from ice cores.
