Sea Ice Mass Balance in the Antarctic - Ice Geophysics
Entry ID: SIMBA_Ice_Geophysics


Summary
Abstract: The data set is comprised of spatial surveys of snow and ice physical properties conducted at the one floe occupied for twenty-seven days in the Bellingshausen Sea, Ice Station Belgica. The survey patterns yielded a two-dimensional representation of snow and ice morphology using main and subsidiary survey lines. The surveys consist of horizontal transects where snow depth, ice thickness, ice ... View entire text

Purpose: The data was used to develop a geophysical assessment of the ice cover and also, drifting and precipitating snow measurements, and Antarctic sea ice concentrations for Year 2007 were taken, contained among other documents. Ice cores that were taken at the beginning and end of the station at each intensive site was used to determine vertical profiles of ice temperature, salinity, brine volume, density, and crystallography integrated over the period of the drift and provided rare time series data and changes with properties over time at the main station.
