Data for manuscript 'Using non-combustible residual particles as a proxy for mineral dust deposition to estimate its contribution to light absorption in the 300-year Holtedahlfonna ice core*

This entry contains the measurement data for the manuscript 'Using non-combustible residual particles as a proxy for mineral dust deposition to estimate its contribution to light absorption in the 300-year Holtedahlfonna ice core' under review in the journal Aeolian research. Ice core samples were melted and filtered previously in Ruppel et al. (2014). These filter samples have in this manuscript been further analyzed with the particle soot absorption photometer (PSAP). Previously characterized and published data from Ruppel et al. 2014 (elemental and organic carbon for the ice core record); and Beaudon et al. 2013 (ionic composition for the ice core record) is combined and utilized in this manuscript. Additionally, this manuscript used the freely available reanalyzed wind and temperature data, available at the NOAA-CIRES-DOE Twentieth Century Reanalysis Project version 3 dataset (https://climexp.knmi.nl).
