Research on the Seasonal Snow of the Arctic Slope. Annual Progress Report, January 16, 1988--December 31, 1988
The original objectives of this research included a regional study of snow on the entire Arctic Slope. During the first year the scope was restricted to the R{sub 4}D area. In the second and third years the primary focus was also on the R{sub 4}D area,but measurements were made at Prudhoe Bay, Atgas...
