This dataset contains ice core-based estimates of volcanic stratospheric sulfur injections covering the years 500 BCE to 1900 CE. Ice core-derived volcanic sulfate deposition composites for Antarctica (Sigl et al., 2014) and Greenland (Sigl et al., 2015) are scaled to volcanic stratospheric sulfur injection based on a method similar to that of Gao et al., (2007).

Description
observation: Level 2c data are blended data, usually, but not always, from Level 2b. Data from different platforms, but for the same variable, may have been merged or different variables from the same or like platforms merged. https://www.godae.org/Data-definition.html Source: Antarctic sulfate deposition from the AVS-2k comilation of Sigl et al., 2014. Greenland composite sulfate depsosition based on synchronized NEEM, NGRIP and GISP2 (see Sigl et al., 2015)
Method: Ice core-derived volcanic sulfate deposition composites for Antarctica (Sigl et al., 2014) and Greenland (Sigl et al., 2015) are scaled to volcanic stratospheric sulfur injection based on a method similar to that of Gao et al., (2007).
