Data description

The data set contains dual carbon isotope data (Δ¹⁴C and δ¹³C) of elemental carbon aerosols collected in snow and air at locations in Himalaya and Tibet. The data is organized in an Excel sheet with two folders: one for aerosols and one for snow pits. For each sample, information is provided about sampling location, sampling period, elevation, geographical coordinates as well as the isotope data.
