New constraints on the gas age-ice age difference along the EPICA ice cores, 0–50 kyr
Gas is trapped in polar ice sheets at ~50–120 m below the surface and is therefore younger than the surrounding ice. Firn densification models are used to evaluate this ice age-gas age difference (Δage) in the past. However, such models need to be validated by data, in particular for perio...
