Characteristics of the Initial Densification Processes of Snow / Firn in Wilkes Land, Antarctica

14 shallow snow / firn cores were taken by drilling with the PICO lightweight hand coring auger on Law Dome and Wilkes Land along a line approximately 111°E longitude between 66°S and 74°S latitude. 5 of these cores, BJ, LJ24, GC30, GC40 and GC46, 20-30 m deep, are studied in detail in this paper....
