Snow depth on Artic sea ice
|
ABSTRACT
Snow depth and density were measured at Soviet drifting stations on multiyear Arctic sea ice. Measurements were made daily at fixed stakes at the weather station and once- or thrice-monthly at 10-m intervals on a line beginning about 500 m from the station buildings and extending outward an additional 500 or 1000 m. There were 31 stations, with lifetimes of 1-7 yr. Analyses are performed here for the 37 years 1954-91, during which time at least one station was always reporting.
Snow depth at the stakes was sometimes higher than on the lines, and sometimes lower, but no systematic ...
