Abstract. We describe a systematic approach to the calibration and uncertainty
estimation of a high-resolution continuous flow analysis (CFA) water isotope
(δ2H, δ18O) record from the Roosevelt Island
Climate Evolution (RICE) Antarctic ice core. Our method establishes robust
uncertainty estimates for CFA δ2H and δ18O
measurements, comparable to those reported for discrete sample
δ2H and δ18O analysis. Data were calibrated
using a time-weighted two-point linear calibration with two standards
measured both before and after continuously melting 3 or 4 m of ice core.
The error at each data point was calculated as the quadrature sum of three
factors: Allan variance error, scatter over our averaging interval (error of
the variance) and calibration error (error of the mean). Final mean total
uncertainty for the entire record is δ2H=0.74 ‰ and δ18O=0.21 ‰.
Uncertainties vary through the data set and were exacerbated by a range of
factors, which typically could not be isolated due to the requirements of the
multi-instrument CFA campaign. These factors likely occurred in combination
and included ice quality, ice breaks, upstream equipment failure,
contamination with drill fluid and leaks or valve degradation. We demonstrate
that our methodology for documenting uncertainty was effective across periods
of uneven system performance and delivered a significant achievement in the
precision of high-resolution CFA water isotope measurements.
