Spatio-temporal variations in vertical snow profiles on sea ice in the Weddell Sea, Antarctica
Snow on sea ice alters the properties of the underlying ice cover as well as associated exchange processes at the interfaces between atmosphere, sea ice and ocean. As Antarctic snow cover persists during most of the year, it contributes significantly to the sea-ice mass budget due to physical (seaso...
