Ice cores are unique with their entrapped air inclusions enabling direct records of past changes in atmospheric trace-gas composition. Preliminary data indicate the Vostok ice-core record extends through four climate cycles, with i
6、ce slightly older than 400 kyr (Petit et al. 1997, 1999). Because air bubbles do not close at the surface of the ice sheet but only near the firn-ice transition (that is, at 90 m below the surface at Vostok), the air extracted from the ice is younger than the surrounding ice (Barnola et al. 1991). U
7、sing semiempirical models of densification applied to past Vostok climate conditions, Barnola et al. (1991) reported that the age difference between air and ice may be 6000 years during the coldest periods instead of 4000 years, as previously assumed. Ice samples were cut with a bandsaw in a cold ro

Gas extraction and measurements were performed with the “Grenoble analytical setup,“ which involved crushing the ice sample (40 g) under vacuum in a stainless steel contai

(2001) TrendsTrends There is a close correlation between Antarctic temperature and atmospheric concentrations of CO2 (Barnola et al. 1987). The extension of the Vostok CO2 record shows that the main trends of CO2 ar

During these transitions, the atmospheric concentrations of CO2 rises from 180 to 280-300 ppmv (Petit et al. 1999). The extension of the Vostok CO2 record s
13、hows the present-day levels of CO2 are unprecedented during the past 420 kyr. Pre-industrial Holocene levels (280 ppmv) are found during all interglacials, with the highest values (300 ppmv) found approximately 323 kyr BP. When the Vostok ice core data were compared with other ice core data (Delmas
