متن کاملA doubling in snow accumulation in the western Antarctic Peninsula
[1] We present results from a new medium depth (136 metres) ice core drilled in a high accumulation site (73.59 S, 70.36 W) on the south-western Antarctic Peninsula during 2007. The Gomez record reveals a doubling of accumulation since the 1850s, from a decadal average of 0.49 mweq y 1 in 1855–1864 to 1.10 mweq y 1 in 1997–2006, with acceleration in recent decades. Comparison with published acc...
متن کاملRecent trends in Antarctic snow accumulation from Polar MM5 simulations.
Polar MM5, a mesoscale atmospheric model optimized for use over polar ice sheets, is employed to simulate Antarctic accumulation in recent decades. Two sets of simulations, each with different initial and boundary conditions, are evaluated for the 17yr period spanning 1985-2001. The initial and boundary conditions for the two sets of runs are provided by the (i) European Centre for Medium-Range...
متن کاملDetermining the Snow Coefficient in order to simulate the snow melting in the Shemshak Watershed Using the WetSpa Model
In mountainous regions, snow forms a part of the precipitation. Therefore, snow melting is an important process in hydrology and hydraulic in these areas that its role should be considered independently in runoff generation. The Shemshak watershed basin located in Tehran province was selected as the study area of this research to examine the efficiency of the WetSpa hydrologic model to simulate...
متن کاملSnow on Antarctic Sea Ice
Snow on Antarctic sea ice plays a complex and highly variable role in air-sea-ice interaction processes and the Earth’s climate system. Using data collected mostly during the past 10 years, this paper reviews the following topics: snow thickness and snow type and their geographical and seasonal variations; snow grain size, density, and salinity; frequency of occurrence of slush; thermal conduct...
