Gravity survey on the Mizuho Plateau, East Antarctica along the traverse routes to Dome-F from Syowa Station
Several kinds of geophysical and glaciological surveys were carried out on the Mizuho Plateau from Syowa Station (69.0°S, 39.6°E) to Dome-F (77.4°S, 39.6°E) in 1992 by the inland traverse team of the 33rd Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition (JARE-33). The gravity measurements were conducted by La...
