Wind transport of Antarctic snow / William W. Vickers.
Title: | Wind transport of Antarctic snow / William W. Vickers. |
Author(s): | Vickers, William W. |
Date: | 1959. |
In: | International Geophysical Year. Bulletin. (1959.), Vol. 22 (1959) |
Abstract: | Qualitative investigations show that blowing snow is very similar to blowing sand; quantitative values primarily based on an established system of investigation are feasible. Such studies would be of great value in computing the wind-depleting factor for the glacier mass budget. Also: American Geophysical Union Trans. 40(2) :162-167, 1959. |
Notes: | International Geophysical Year. Bulletin. Vol. 22 :4-9 (1959). |
Keywords: | 551.578.46 -- Snow cover and snow patches. 551.578.466 -- Snow, surface forms and drifts. E10 -- Glaciology: snow and avalanches. (*7) -- Antarctic regions. |
