Glaciological Observations on the Ross Ice Shelf Near Scott Base, Antarctica
Abstract On the Ross Ice Shelf near Scott Base the annual surface snow accumulation is about 18 g.cm. −2 . The increase of firn density with depth is greater than normal, due to horizontal compaction. Where the bottom of the ice shelf has a density less than 0.8 g.cm. −3 the shelf becomes brine-soak...
