A reanalysis of the GISP2 H ice core ECM (Electrical Conductivity Method) and nitrate data around the NO 3 - spike previously dated to late 1859 suggests the feature most likely appears in early 1860.

Utilized standard method for absolute dating of ice cores: 1.ECM (volcanism) – establishes marker years 1853, 1854, 1883,… 2.proxies exhibiting annual cycles (e.g. nitrates) - count/interpolate years between markers 3.combining 1. and 2. gives annual dating => Nitrate spike most probably occurs in Dating Methodology – GISP2 H Core Dreschhoff and Zeller, or 1860one or two years

GISP2 H Core Segment - Dreschhoff and Zeller, 1994 (evenly-spaced samples) 1. Shiveluch (1854) and Krakatau (1883) ECM markers bracket nitrate spike 2. annual nitrate cycles count/interpolate years between markers & 2. => NO 3 - spike most probably occurs in 1860 (not 1862/1863) ECM NO 3 -
