A line transect survey of the waters off East Antarctica (80°E-150°E; CCAMLR Division 58.4.1; IWC Areas IV &V) was conducted during January to March 1996 on the 5,000t icebreaker RV Aurora Australis. Cruise determining programs were a hydroacoustic survey to estimate Antarctic krill…
This article aims to give a comprehensive view of the distribution patterns for natural and artificial radionuclides over Antarctica. We focus this study on 137Cs, 210Pb and tritium. Applying various statistical methods, we show that the deposition of radionuclides reveals a structured distribution…
A Global Positioning System (GPS) survey has been carried out on the Amery Ice Shelf, providing "ground-truth" measurements of ellipsoidal height for the ERS-1 and ERS-2 satellite altimeters.
Oversnow traverses have collected a variety of glaciological measurements around the interior drainage basin of the Lambert Glacier, East Antarctica (longitudes 54° - 78° E, latitudes 67° - 76S), between 1989-90 and 1994-95.
A directional anisotropy is observed in backscatter from the surface of the East Antarctic ice sheet as measured by the C-band wind scatterometer carried by the ERS-1 satellite. The anisotropy is characterised by the amplitude of the variation with azimuth of the backscatter coefficient…
The 500 km wide swath of the ERS Wind scatterometer and its orbit geometry allows the measurement of the microwave backscatter of all the Antarctic region between latitudes 55°S and 79°S every three days.
