That the ice core CO2 levels are reasonable for CO2 measurements can be seen as different ice cores at very different snow / ice temperatures, inclusions (coastal salts vs. inland salts content), accumulation rates, ice age — gas age differences,... show the same CO2 levels (within 5 ppmv) for overlapping periods of gas age.
In the Bay Area, conditions will not be quite as favorable as in the Central Valley, but while precipitation will probably start out as rain under 2000 feet snow levels will drop quickly on the back end of the precipitation band associated with the cold front, possibly bringing some snow accumulations down to 1000 feet and a brief rain / snow mix to even lower elevations.
Buoys provide key observations for mapping and attributing summer ice loss: drift, bottom vs. top melt, amount of snow accumulation, nature of ponds (even if anecdotal from web cams), and thickness of level ice.
Ice, Cloud and land Elevation Satellite (ICESat) data (2003 — 08) show mass gains from snow accumulation exceeded discharge losses by 82 ± 25 Gt a − 1, reducing global sea - level rise by 0.23 mm a − 1.
Scientists: Warming causes Antarctic ice sheet growth, and lower sea levels By Kenneth Richard While many scientists are projecting rapid sea level rise as a result of a warmer Antarctica and consequent ice sheet melting, other scientists are projecting that the surface of the Antarctic ice sheet will gain in mass because a warmer Antarctica means snow and ice accumulation will outpace the -LSB-...]
As warmer air can hold more moisture, it is possible that increasing snow accumulation compensates part of the sea level rise.
The difference in CO2 levels between all ice cores drilled in Antarctica with the most extreme differences in snow accumulation and temperature is not more than 5 ppmv for the same average gas age...
Stomata data are in no way «better» than ice core CO2 data, they are proxy's of local CO2 levels, not like ice cores which are direct measurements of CO2 in the ancient bulk (95 %) of the atmosphere, be it averaged over several years to several centuries, depending of the snow accumulation rate of the ice core.
