Four ice cores and two deep pit/auger sequences from the top of the Agassiz Ice Cap have been variously analysed for δ(O 18 ), ECM (solid conductivity) and ice melt-layer stratigraphy. The high- resolution data are presented on time scales covering about the last 1000 years. The 8 time series are compared and the noise examined in terms of snow-drifting and wind-scouring of winter snow from the higher exposed parts of flow lines. The highly scoured 8 records reflect a mixture of summer-biased conditions and the amount of winter-scoured snow. Sites away from the ridges and domes are not scoured. The signal part of the scoured and unscoured sites is obtained by stacking (averaging normalized series). The stacked unscoured series of 8 and accumulation are compared to similar stacked series from central Greenland for the last century of annual averages. The comparison is surprisingly good suggesting that at these resolutions low-noise 8 series have some coherence over fairly large distances. The percentage melt series are presented and compared to those from the Devon Island Ice Cap
