Abstract
The measured β activities of firn samples from two sites on the Juneau Icefield are in good agreement with each other and with those of Greenland firn. A consistent pattern of β-activity variation can be identified far the fire layers from 1959 through 1962. The 1952–53 firn layer cannot be identified from the measured β activities.Keywords
