A Note on the Contribution of Rime and Surface Hoar to the Accumulation on the Ross Ice Shelf, Antarctica

Abstract Observations and measurements made on the Ross Ice Shelf during 1974 suggest that rime and surface hoar deposited on the surface during fogs may contribute 5-10% of the annual accumulation. Layers formed during such fogs may be mistaken for depth hoar layers in the snow-pack.
