ANNUAL VARIATION OF SNOWFALL AND RADAR ECHO STRUCTURE OF SNOW CLOUDS AT SYOWA STATION, ANTARCTICA
Snow clouds were observed with vertical pointing radar at Syowa Station from February 1988 to December 1989. In order to find the Z-R relationship, the snowfall rate was directly measured by using an electric balance at the ground. The annual amount of snowfall was estimated to be 400mm in 1989 when...
