Water vapor transport in snowpacks

This thesis is an in-depth treatment of water vapor transport in snowpacks and its impacts on snow structure. The aim is to better understand this transport process and to lay the basis for a model representation in physics-based multi-layer snow models. O ...

Secondary ice production in summer clouds over the Antarctic coast: an underappreciated process in atmospheric models

Athanasios Nenes, Alexis Berne, Georgia Sotiropoulou, Etienne Gabriel Henri Vignon

The correct representation of Antarctic clouds in atmospheric models is crucial for accurate projections of the future Antarctic climate. This is particularly true for summer clouds which play a critical role in the surface melting of the ice shelves in th ...

The Impact of Diffusive Water Vapor Transport on Snow Profiles in Deep and Shallow Snow Covers and on Sea Ice

Varun Sharma, Michael Lehning, Adrien Michel, Mahdi Jafari, Nander Wever, Isabelle Amandine Gouttevin, Margaux Caroline Patricia Couttet

Water vapor transport has been highlighted as a critical process in Arctic snowpacks, shaping the snow cover structure in terms of density, thermal conductivity, and temperature profile among others. Here, we present an attempt to describe the thermally-in ...

Diel quenching of Southern Ocean phytoplankton fluorescence is related to iron limitation

Nina Schuback

Evaluation of photosynthetic competency in time and space is critical for better estimates and models of oceanic primary productivity. This is especially true for areas where the lack of iron (Fe) limits phytoplankton productivity, such as the Southern Oce ...

Seasonal evolution of snow cover on Antarctic sea ice

Katherine Colby Leonard, Ernesto Trujillo Gomez

Snow cover on Antarctic sea ice plays a key role in the evolution of ice thickness, its estimation from space-borne altimeters, and structuring of sea ice ecosystems. Yet until recently, there have been very few continuous observations of the seasonal evol ...
