| Title: | A bare ice field in east Queen Maud Land, Antarctica, caused by horizontal divergence of drifting snow / Shuhei Takahashi, Renji Naruse, Masayoshi Nakawo, Shinji Mae. |
| Author(s): | Takahashi, Shuhei. Naruse, Renji. Nakawo, Masayoshi. Mae, Shinji. |
| Date: | 1988. |
| Publisher: | Cambridge: International Glaciological Society |
| In: | Annals of Glaciology. (1988.), Vol. 11 (1988) |
| Abstract: | Horizontal divergence of drifting snow was estimated from ice-sheet topography on Mizuho Plateau by using relationship between snow-drift transport rate and wind speed estimated from surface slope. Divergence thus estimated for Mizuho station was consistent with observations of surface net mass balance, precipitation and sublimation. Around southern region of Yamato Mountains, large divergence was predicted and this is believed to be principal cause of bare-ice field. Other factors in formation and preservation of bare-ice area are discussed. |
