Towards continuous measurements of snow drift and sublimation in polar environments

Michael Lehning, Wolf Hendrik Huwald, John Martin Kolinski, Yael Frischholz, Armin Sigmund, Balthazar Allegri

In polar regions, and specifically in continental Antarctica, the local surface mass and energy balances can be largely controlled by snow transport in form of drifting and blowing snow particles, and sublimation both from the snow or ice surface and from ...

Untangling the influence of Antarctic and Southern Ocean life on clouds

Julia Schmale, Hélène Paule Angot, Jenny Thomas, Markus Frey

Polar environments are among the fastest changing regions on the planet. It is a crucial time to make significant improvements in our understanding of how ocean and ice biogeochemical processes are linked with the atmosphere. This is especially true over A ...

A Case Study on Drivers of the Isotopic Composition of Water Vapour at the Coast of East Antarctica

Michael Lehning, Armin Sigmund, Riqo Chaar

Stable water isotopes (SWIs) contain valuable information on the past climate and phase changes in the hydrologic cycle. Recently, vapour measurements in the polar regions have provided new insights into the effects of snow-related and atmospheric processe ...

Widespread detection of chlorine oxyacids in the Arctic atmosphere

Julia Schmale, Ivo Fabio Beck, Hélène Paule Angot

Observations are reported of HClO3 and HClO4 in the atmosphere and their widespread occurrence over the pan-Arctic during spring, providing further insights into atmospheric chlorine cycling in the polar environment. Chlorine radicals are strong atmospheri ...

Snow Loss Into Leads in Arctic Sea Ice: Minimal in Typical Wintertime Conditions, but High During a Warm and Windy Snowfall Event

Julia Schmale, Marc Schneebeli Zeugin, Markus Frey

The amount of snow on Arctic sea ice impacts the ice mass budget. Wind redistribution of snow into open water in leads is hypothesized to cause significant wintertime snow loss. However, there are no direct measurements of snow loss into Arctic leads. We m ...

Fluorescent aerosols in the Arctic: Seasonality and sources

Julia Schmale, Ivo Fabio Beck, Benjamin Jérémy Laurent Heutte, Jakob Boyd Pernov, Hélène Paule Angot, Margarida Teles Nogueira Rolo

Aerosol-cloud interactions play an important role in regulating the Arctic climate. However, cloud formation processes in the Arctic remain poorly understood and information on aerosol properties in this environment are insufficient, especially during pola ...

Kirigami Design and Modeling for Strong, Lightweight Metamaterials

Jamie Paik, Hongying Zhang

Kirigami is the art of paper cutting, and it is emerging as an elegant design and manufacturing solution in mechanical metamaterials. Currently, the majority of kirigami designs focus on shape-morphing, but there is little attention on the remarkable mecha ...

How important are snow transport and sublimation for the mass balance of Antarctica?

Varun Sharma, Michael Lehning, Wolf Hendrik Huwald, Daniela Brito Melo, Armin Sigmund

This presentation is part of the session 'Contributing to climate science through research in polar and high-altitude regions: the early-career researchers' point of view' in the Geneva Cryosphere HUB of the COP26 conference. We discuss the mass balance of ...
