Surface mass balance (snow accumulation rate) at Dome Fuji

Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR

The surface mass balance (SMB) at Dome Fuji, East Antarctica, was estimated using 36 bamboo stakes (grid of 6 x 6, placed at 20-m intervals) from 1995 to 2006.

Description

The heights of the stake tops from the snow surface were measured at 0.5 cm resolution twice monthly in 1995, 1996, 1997, and 2003, and once a year for the rest of the study period. To account for snow settling, the average snow density at the stake base during the measurements was used for converting the stake-height data to SMB.

The annual SMB from 1995 to 2006 at Dome Fuji was 27.3 ± 1.5 kg m-2 a-1. This result agrees well with the annual SMB from AD 1260 to 1993 (26.4 kg m-2 a-1) estimated from volcanic signals in the Dome Fuji ice core.
