This research was funded by the NSF Office of Polar Programs Glaciology Program, the Australian Government's Cooperative Research Centres Programme through the Antarctic Climate and Ecosystems Cooperative Research Center, the Italian National Antarctic Research Program (PNRA), and several other international scientific research programs. Sincere gratitude is owed to all of those who contributed to the planning, extraction, and analysis of the ice core, snow stake, and snow pit data. The ERA-40 data were obtained from the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research Data Support Section (www.dss.ucar.edu). This is contribution 1338 of the Byrd Polar Research Center.
