Power spectral analysis of snow densities at Mizuho Station, Antarctica

Power spectrum analyses were made of layer-to-layer variations of densities of core-samples recovered by drilling at Mizuho Station, Antarctica. The power spectra computed by the maximum entropy method show twenty-seven cyclic changes of snow deposition mode and consequently of climatic circumstance...

Description
Summary:Power spectrum analyses were made of layer-to-layer variations of densities of core-samples recovered by drilling at Mizuho Station, Antarctica. The power spectra computed by the maximum entropy method show twenty-seven cyclic changes of snow deposition mode and consequently of climatic circumstances. The periods of the climatic changes are estimated to range from 6.1 to 389.4 years.
