This data set contains measurements of 14C of methane made on ancient air extracted from large-volume glacial ice samples spanning the Younger Dryas - Preboreal climatic transition about 11,600 years ago. The data set also contains supporting measurements of 14C of carbon monoxide and 14C of carbon dioxide. The measurements were made to test the hypothesis that catastrophic destabilization of marine methane clathrates caused the methane increase at the end of the Younger Dryas. The results suggested little to no change in 14CH4 over the time of the methane increase, arguing against major clathrate involvement. The ice samples were collected between Jul 1 and Aug 15, 2005. INSTRUMENT AND METHOD DESCRIPTION The field and analytical system for determinations of 14CH4 in large-volume glacial ice samples have been described in (Petrenko et al., 2008a; Petrenko et al., 2008b; Petrenko et al., 2009). This system involves the melt-extraction of occluded air from very large volumes of glacial ice or at the sampling / ice coring site. Briefly, the present field system consists of a large chemically polished aluminum vacuum melting tank (~670 L internal volume) and a series vacuum and transfer pumps. The ice is loaded into the tank, and the headspace is evacuated and flushed 3x with either ultra-high purity (UHP) air, nitrogen or argon. The ice is then melted, releasing the ancient air into the headspace. The air is then extracted from the tank by clean diaphragm transfer pumps and stored in electropolished stainless steel canisters for further laboratory handling and analyses. In the laboratory, the air is first processed through a system that converts either CH4 or CO to CO2, and captures this CO2 for further handling. In the case of CH4 processing, H2O, CO2, N2O and other condensibles are first removed by a series of traps at liquid nitrogen temperature. CO is then quantitatively oxidized to CO2 by the Sofonocat reagent and subsequently removed by further cryotraps. CH4 is then combusted to CO2 by passing the air through a 800°C furnace containing platinized quartz wool. The CH4-derived CO2 is then captured. This CO2 is then converted to graphite over ultra-high-purity iron powder and subsequently measured for 14C by AMS. The combined procedural 14CH4 blank for all steps of sampling handling was determined to be 0.75 ± 0.38 pMC, on the basis of 72 processed blank and standard samples (Petrenko et al., 2008b). For CO analyses, the sample handling is very similar except that the air bypasses Sofnocat, and the furnace temperature is reduced from 800 to 150°C. This allows for complete combustion of CO while CH4 passes through unaffected. CO2 derived from CO was diluted with 14-C free CO2 to increase the carbon mass to allow for a 14C measurement. For sample 14CO2 measurements, CO2 was extracted cryogenically from ~0.5 L of air. DATA COLLECTION AND PROCESSING The 14CH4 data are corrected the procedural blank. Where indicated, 14CH4 data are also corrected for cosmogenic 14C production in ice. For 14CO, corrections are applied for ambient air inclusion and processing blank. For 14CO2, processing blank corrections are applied where indicated. ABSTRACT SUPPLIED BY ORIGINATOR: The cause of a large increase of atmospheric methane concentration during the Younger Dryas-Preboreal abrupt climatic transition (~11,600 years ago) has been the subject of much debate. The carbon-14 (14C) content of methane (14CH4) should distinguish between wetland and clathrate contributions to this increase. We present measurements of 14CH4 in glacial ice, targeting this transition, performed by using ice samples obtained from an ablation site in west Greenland. Measured 14CH4 values were higher than predicted under any scenario. Sample 14CH4 appears to be elevated by direct cosmogenic 14C production in ice. 14C of CO was measured to better understand this process and correct the sample 14CH4. Corrected results suggest that wetland sources were likely responsible for the majority of the Younger Dryas–Preboreal CH4 rise.
