PAPERS - Surface mass balance of Dome C and Talos Dome drainage area (SURFMASS) created at 2021-02-22 13:58:34

The project aims to estimate the current mass balance of glaciers and in particular of the Antarctic ice sheet by studying the space-time variations of the balance of snow accumulation through the integration of meteo-climatic and glaciological data.


Analysis of weather-climatic and snow measurements collected by AWS stations (Dome C, C3, High Priestley, Talos Dome and a Nansen Ice Sheet) using sensors for measuring snow transport and measuring poles. Snow radar data collection of the Dumont d’Urville-Dome C traverse. Analysis of the chemical and isotopic composition of the collected snow samples. Analysis of satellite data to define the path of the Talos Dome-Dome C-Vostok-Dome B-Dome A crosspiece. High resolution chemical / isotopic analyzes (samples in trenches) for the study of post-depositional diffusion / re-emission processes that occur in the part of the snow closest to the surface. Study of the spatial variability of the snow accumulation at the TD site and along the ITASE traverse. Continuation of the analysis of the samples and geophysical data collected in the previous ITASE traverses.

Purpose
Estimate the current mass balance of glaciers and in particular of the Antarctic ice sheet by studying the space-time variations of the balance of snow accumulation. Study of the origin of precipitation and its influence on the chemical / isotopic composition of the snow in the drainage area of Dome C ; the post-depositional processes of re-emission and diffusion of chemical / isotopic species in the snow; measuremnts of the altimetric variations of the canopy and the mass balance along the isoipsa of 2100 m in Wilkes Land.
