Air Parcel Trajectories and Snowfall Related to Five Deep Drilling Locations in Antarctica Based on the ERA-15 Dataset*
ABSTRACT
Five-day backward air parcel trajectories are used to define potential moisture sources of snow falling at five Antarctic deep drilling locations: Byrd, DML05, Dome C, Dome F, and Vostok. The trajectory calculations are based on European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts reanalysis data, ERA-15 (1979-93). Based on model precipitation, a disti...
