Antarctic Sea Ice Thickness Mapping in McMurdo Sound
Entry ID:
K063_2011_2012_NZ_1
Summary
Abstract:
In-depth research has been conducted into sea ice thickness in the McMurdo Sound. The subice platelet layer thickness under sea ice was measured in regular intervals at two North-South oriented profiles and four east-west oriented profiles. Holes were drilled at regular intervals into sea ice at measurement sites about 5 km apart. At these holes sea ice thickness and snow depth on top of the sea ...
