Accumulation Between Mount Chapman and “Byrd” Station, Antarctica

Abstract In November and December 1965 accumulation measurements were made at 3 km. intervals and at networks of poles at six photogrammetric arrays on an oversnow traverse from Mount Chapman to “Byrd” station. The results at the photogrammetric arrays, which yield a mean accumulation of 16.4 g. cm....

Description
Summary:Abstract In November and December 1965 accumulation measurements were made at 3 km. intervals and at networks of poles at six photogrammetric arrays on an oversnow traverse from Mount Chapman to “Byrd” station. The results at the photogrammetric arrays, which yield a mean accumulation of 16.4 g. cm. −2 yr. −1 for 1963–65, are compared with values determined from stratigraphic investigations in 1958–59 and in 1962–63, which gave 12.2 g. cm. −2 yr. −1 and 13.2 g. cm. −2 yr. −1 , respectively.
