+# A spline fit to atmospheric CO<sub>2</sub> records from Antarctic ice cores and measured concentrations for the last 25,000 years
+
+This repository contains a netCDF (version 4) file containing a best-estimate of past atmospheric CO<sub>2</sub> concentrations based on a spline fit through available ice core records and observations. For further technical details on the construction of th dataset, see the file ARVE_tech_report2_co2spline.pdf that is part of this repository.
