Abstract
This data set consists of high-precision krypton and argon isotope measurements, along with 15N and 18O of O2. This data tests the hypothesis that the 2nd order parameter 86Krexcess (86Kr/82Kr - 40Ar/36Ar) serves as a proxy indicator of past storminess, via atmospheric pressure changes that cause barometric pumping in the firn and hence greater gravitational disequilibrium in the heavier Kr atom than in Ar. These measurements were made as part of the US-Australian Law Dome DE08-OH campaign in 2018-2019. Nitrogen and dioxygen isotopes were also measured.
