P(論文) Air permeability and elastic modulus were measured for firn samples prepared from a 20-m pit and cores drilled to the depth of 147.5m at Mizuho Station in East Antarctica. Air permeability decreased and elastic modulus increased with increasing depth or density. Two distinct changes were found...
