Abstract: Using data from the regional atmospheric climate model RACMO/ANT1 the momentum budget of the Antarctic atmospheric surface layer (SL; taken as the lowest model layer located at 6?7 m above the surface) is presented. In ...

Abstract: Five-day backward air parcel trajectories are used to define potential moisture sources of snow falling at five Antarctic deep drilling locations: Byrd, DML05, Dome C, Dome F, and Vostok. The trajectory calculations are ...

Abstract: The isotopic composition of present-day Antarctic snow is simulated for the period September 1980?August 2002 using a Rayleigh-type isotope distillation model in combination with backward trajectory calculations with 40-yr ...

Abstract: Output of a regional atmospheric climate model is used to quantify the average January and July momentum budget of the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) over the East Antarctic ice sheet and the surrounding oceans. Results ...

Abstract: onfidence in projections of global-mean sea level rise (GMSLR) depends on an ability to account for GMSLR during the twentieth century. There are contributions from ocean thermal expansion, mass loss from glaciers and ice ...

Abstract: A database of surface Antarctic snow isotopic composition is constructed using available measurements, with an estimate of data quality and local variability. Although more than 1000 locations are documented, the spatial ...
