Yukimarimo at Dome C, Antarctica
ABSTRACT Balls of frost (yukimarimo) up to 12 cm in diameter and weighing up to 14 g were observed forming in light winds in the temperature range, −70 to −60 °C at Dome Charlie, Antarctica, during the 2014 winter. Their density ranged from 15 to 60 kg m −3 . Meteorological conditions during four fo...
