Description:
The data set reports on measurements of ice nucleating particles (INPs) from an ice core in Greenland (B17, 72.25, -37.25, 2820 m AMSL) that dates back to about 1370. INP measurements were performed using the FRIDGE INP counter as a droplet freezing assay for N = 135 meltwater samples from the core. From each sample 3 x 65 droplets of melt water (2.5 µL) were pipetted onto a sample substrate. The experimental nucleation temperature T was decreased at 1 °C/min until every droplet was frozen. The frozen fraction (FF) as a function of T is used to calculate the INP abundance per mL of melt water. A conversion factor is used to estimate atmospheric INP concentrations. The typical time coverage of a sampe is in the order of a couple of months. Samples were selected in regular time intervals of 10 years, plus a number of additional samples. This data supplement is related to a scientific publication (doi:10.5194/acp-2020-556).
