However, the Antarctic ice core TAC record is known to also contain an insolation signature, although the underlying physical mechanisms are still a matter of debate. Here we present a high-resolution TAC record over the whole North Greenland Ice Core Project ice core, covering the last 120000 years, which independently supports an insolation signature in Greenland. Wavelet analysis reveals a clear precession and obliquity signal similar to previous findings on Antarctic TAC, with a different insolation history. In our high-resolution record we also find a decrease of 4-6% (4-5mLkg-1) in TAC as a response to Dansgaard-Oeschger events (DO events). TAC starts to decrease in parallel to increasing Greenland surface temperature and slightly before CH4 reacts to the warming but also shows a two-step decline that lasts for several centuries into the warm interstadial. The TAC response is larger than expected considering only changes in air density by local temperature and atmospheric pressure as a driver, pointing to a transient firnification response caused by the accumulation-induced increase in the load on the firn at bubble close-off, while temperature changes deeper in the firn are still small.","pubRank":"1"}],"site":[{"NOAASiteId":"31412","siteName":"NGRIP","siteCode":null,"mappable":"Y","locationName":"Continent>North America>Greenland","geo":{"geoType":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"POINT","coordinates":["75.1","-42.32"]},"properties":{"southernmostLatitude":"75.1","northernmostLatitude":"75.1","westernmostLongitude":"-42.32","easternmostLongitude":"-42.32","minElevationMeters":"2917","maxElevationMeters":"2917"}},"paleoData":[{"dataTableName":"NGRIP2016TAC","NOAADataTableId":"31321","earliestYear":119554,"mostRecentYear":294,"timeUnit":"cal yr BP","earliestYearBP":119554,"mostRecentYearBP":294,"earliestYearCE":-117604,"mostRecentYearCE":1656,"coreLengthMeters":null,"dataTableNotes":null,"species":[],"dataFile":[{"fileUrl":"https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/pub/data/paleo/icecore/greenland/summit/ngrip/gases/ngrip2016tac-noaa.txt","urlDescription":"Data File","linkText":"NGRIP Ice Core Total Air Content Data","variables":[{"cvDataType":"ICE CORES","cvWhat":"depth variable>depth","cvMaterial":null,"cvError":null,"cvUnit":"length unit>meter","cvSeasonality":null,"cvDetail":null,"cvMethod":null,"cvAdditionalInfo":null,"cvFormat":"Numeric","cvShortName":"depth_m"},{"cvDataType":"ICE CORES","cvWhat":"age variable>age>ice age","cvMaterial":null,"cvError":null,"cvUnit":"time unit>age unit>calendar year before present","cvSeasonality":null,"cvDetail":null,"cvMethod":null,"cvAdditionalInfo":"AICC2012","cvFormat":"Numeric","cvShortName":"age_calBP"},{"cvDataType":"ICE CORES","cvWhat":"age variable>age>gas age","cvMaterial":null,"cvError":null,"cvUnit":"time unit>age unit>calendar year before present","cvSeasonality":null,"cvDetail":null,"cvMethod":null,"cvAdditionalInfo":"AICC2012","cvFormat":"Numeric","cvShortName":"age_gas_calBP"},{"cvDataType":"ICE CORES","cvWhat":"physical property>porosity>air content","cvMaterial":"hydrologic material>bulk ice","cvError":null,"cvUnit":"specific volume unit>milliliter per kilogram","cvSeasonality":null,"cvDetail":null,"cvMethod":null,"cvAdditionalInfo":"mL/kg STP","cvFormat":"Numeric","cvShortName":"TAC"},{"cvDataType":"ICE CORES","cvWhat":"physical property>porosity>air content","cvMaterial":"hydrologic material>bulk ice","cvError":"unspecified error>unspecified margin of error","cvUnit":"specific volume unit>milliliter per kilogram","cvSeasonality":null,"cvDetail":null,"cvMethod":null,"cvAdditionalInfo":null,"cvFormat":"Numeric","cvShortName":"TACerr"}],"NOAAKeywords":["earth science>paleoclimate>ice core>atmospheric gas"]}]}]}],"reference":{"pastThesaurusSkos":"https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/access/paleo-search/skos/past-thesaurus.rdf","pastThesaurusExplorer":"https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/access/paleo-search/cvterms","gcmdKeywordThesaurus":"https://earthdata.nasa.gov/earth-observation-data/find-data/idn/gcmd-keywords"},"dataLicenseDescription":null,"dataLicenseUrl":null}
