Constraints on post-depositional isotope modifications in East Antarctic firn from analysing temporal changes of isotope profiles

The isotopic composition of water in ice sheets is extensively used to infer past climate changes. In low-accumulation regions their interpretation is, however, challenged by poorly constrained effects that may influence the initial isotope signal during and after deposition of the snow. This is...
