Surface snow chemistry on Antarctic ice sheet in JARE60

Observations of surface snow accumulation on the East Antarctic ice sheet were conducted as part of a monitoring program for assessing the surface mass balance of the ice sheet. During traverse surveys between the coastal S16 point and the inland Dome Fuji region, surface snow accumulation has been measured since 1992 by Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition (JARE) members. Surface snow samplings were conducted every 10km along the traverse route.

东南极冰盖表面积雪累积量观测，系针对该冰盖表面物质平衡开展的监测项目的组成部分。在沿海S16点位与内陆富士冰穹（Dome Fuji）区域之间的穿越勘测工作中，日本南极科考队（Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition, JARE）队员自1992年起便持续开展地表积雪累积量测量工作。沿本次穿越路线，每间隔10公里即开展一次地表积雪采样作业。
