Active layer apparent thermal diffusivity and its dependence on atmospheric
Summary Antarctica is one of the most sensitive areas in the world to global climate change making it a privileged observatory for the study of this change. Nevertheless, its geographic location and its extreme climate make it very difficult to collect a continuous series of measurements. These adve...
