Abstract
This data set comprises measurements of noble and inert gases in the firn at the DE08-OH site sampled in 2018-2019 near the summit of Law Dome, Antarctica. The data show the expected gravitational enrichment of heavy isotopes with depth, somewhat attenuated by the high accumulation rate and a near-surface well-mixed zone (convective zone), and the "lock-in" horizon at 68 m depth. As seen at many other sites, the heavy isotope of oxygen 18O is depleted progressively with depth within the lock-in zone due to faster gas permeation of 16O16O relative to 18O16O from compressed air bubbles.
