Seasonal Variation of Oxygen Isotopic Composition of Firn Cores in the Antarctic Ice Sheet

We have investigated two 30 m cores at two different spots in the most heavy snow-accumulation regions on Mizuho Plateau, East Antarctica. Marked seasonal variations periodically appear in oxygen isotope records of the cores. We analyzed one core with no trace of snow melting and found it had a complete record showing a yearly change of annual net snow accumulations from 1920 through 1980. The analysis shows that a yearly variation of annual net accumulation (N.A.) has some relations with that of the annual maximum value (δmax) of δ18O and that of the annual amplitude (Δδ) of the δ18O-change in an annual snow layer. Power spectral analyses with respect to the variation of N.A., δmax and Δδ also indicate that there is commonly a predominant periodicity of about five years.
