NOAA/WDS Paleoclimatology - Tropical Peruvian Ice Core 50 Year Oxygen Isotope Data

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Metadata Last Checked: January 26, 2026 | Last Modified: 2017-09-07T00:00:00.000+00:00
This archived Paleoclimatology Study is available from the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI), under the World Data Service (WDS) for Paleoclimatology. The associated NCEI study type is Ice Core. The data include parameters of ice cores with a geographic location of Peru. The time period coverage is from -24 to -66 in calendar years before present (BP). See metadata information for parameter and study location details. Please cite this study when using the data.
