Snow accumulation on the Ross Ice Shelf, Antarctica / John Arnfield Heap, Arthur S. Rundle.
Title: | Snow accumulation on the Ross Ice Shelf, Antarctica / John Arnfield Heap, Arthur S. Rundle. |
Author(s): | Heap, John Arnfield. Rundle, Arthur S. |
Date: | 1964. |
Publisher: | Washington, D.C. : |
In: | Antarctic Research Series. (1964.), Vol. 2 (1964) |
Abstract: | Snow accumulation near the northern edge of the Ross Ice Shelf and along 168°W is reported as a result of almost 2000 accumulation stake measurements and study of snow stratigraphy in 31 pits. The average accumulation near the northern edge of the ice shelf for the years 1960 through 1962 is calculated to be 14.4 cm². This figure may be below the climatic average by as much as 10-30%. |
