Please use the Discussion section below to specifically comment on the choice of greenhouse gases for the core experiment.

Carbon Dioxide

The composite record (EPICA Dome C, Vostok and Taylor Dome) from Lüthi et al. (2008)[1] provides CO2 data spanning 800 ka to present.
The data will be provided on the timescale of Veres et al. (2013)[2]

Methane

The EPICA Dome C record from Loulergue et al. (2008)[3] provides CH4 data also spanning 800 ka to present.
The data will be provided on the timescale of Veres et al. (2013)[2]

Nitrous Oxide

Work in progress!
