  <Summary>
    <Abstract>Records of past temperature, precipitation, atmospheric trace gases, and other aspects of climate and environment derived from ice cores drilled on glaciers and ice caps around the world.  Parameter keywords describe what was measured in this data set.  Additional summary information can be found in the abstracts of papers listed in the data set citations.
 
          STUDY NOTES: The data files in the Climate directory Automated Weather Station (AWS)
data from 1987 - 1995 for stations distributed on and around the GISP2
site.
