The dependence of Antarctic accumulation rates on surface temperature and elevation

ABSTRACT A study of antarctic accumulaton. surface temperature and elevation data reveals a strong correlation between the accumulation rate and the surface temperature which, in turn. is almost uniquely determined by the elevation of the ice sheet surface. The latitudinal temperature gradient seems...
