Project information
Project aim
Weekly fast-ice and snow thicknesses from an ongoing long-term time-series together with meteorological data will be used to analyse ice-atmosphere interactions. Interannual changes will be studied for climate effects. Various sites at each location will be sampled to resolve the influence of oceanic forcing on the fast-ice growth.

Fast ice makes up about 10 % by area (or 14 - 20 % by volume) of the total … Antarctic pack. Its growth is largely determined by thermodynamics processes, which makes it a valuable tool to monitor changes in the polar climate system. Time series of fast-ice properties…

We present in situ observations of atmospheric and fast-ice parameters at Davis … (68°35'S, 77°58'E), East Antarctica. Surface measurements from 1969–2003 reveal … negative trends for summer and autumn surface-air temperatures, yet positive annual, winter and spring trends.
