This file contains the WAIS Divide temperature reconstruction reported by Cuffey et al. (2016)
2
in PNAS. Specifically, this is the primary reconstruction (Eq. 2 of that publication),
3
combining information from borehole temperatures, deuterium isotopic content of ice, and
4
nitrogen 15 content of trapped diatomic nitrogen gas.
5
The deuterium isotopic data input to this analysis was the 1m-average values measured in
6
the Steig laboratory at U. Washington. These data were filtered (time-averaged) using
7
a center-weighted triangular weighting function of total base-length 200 yrs.

Location of the WAIS Divide site is 79 deg 28 min South, 112 deg 05 min West.
