Spatio-Temporal Dynamics of Snow on Central Arctic Sea Ice and its Implications

This thesis presents a comprehensive investigation of the interaction between precipitation and wind-induced erosion and deposition of snow on Arctic sea ice. The study uses observations from the 2019-2020 MOSAiC expedition and makes use of the 3D snow cov ...

Highly Active Ice‐Nucleating Particles at the Summer North Pole

Julia Schmale

The amount of ice versus supercooled water in clouds is important for their radiative properties and role in climate feedbacks. Hence, knowledge of the concentration of ice-nucleating particles (INPs) is needed. Generally, the concentrations of INPs are fo ...

Frequent new particle formation over the high Arctic pack ice by enhanced iodine emissions, ancillary data

Julia Schmale, Andrea Baccarini

This dataset contains a collection of ancillary data that were used for the publication Frequent new particle formation over the high Arctic pack ice by enhanced iodine emissions (Baccarini et al., 2020, Nature Comm.). Some of these datasets can be reprodu ...

Evolution of critical buckling conditions in imperfect bilayer shells through residual swelling

Pedro Miguel Nunes Pereira de Almeida Reis, Matteo Pezzulla, Dong Yan, Anna Lee

We propose and investigate a minimal mechanism that makes use of differential swelling to modify the critical buckling conditions of elastic bilayer shells, as measured by the knockdown factor. Our shells contain an engineered defect at the north pole and ...

Systems engineering and design of a Mars Polar Research Base with a human crew

Claudio Leonardi, Anton Ivanov, Tatiana Maillard, Anne-Marlene Rüede

Mars Polar Ice caps have been known ever since they were first observed by Cassini. Robotic exploration mis- sions, starting with Mariner 9, have confirmed that they are composed of water ice. During later missions, instruments such as Mars Global Surveyor ...

Observation of the cosmic-ray shadow of the Moon with IceCube

Shirit Cohen, Mathieu Ribordy, Matthias Wolf, Xiaoxia Bai

We report on the observation of a significant deficit of cosmic rays from the direction of the Moon with the IceCube detector. The study of this "Moon shadow" is used to characterize the angular resolution and absolute pointing capabilities of the detector ...

South Pole glacial climate reconstruction from multi-borehole laser particulate stratigraphy

Shirit Cohen, Mathieu Ribordy, Matthias Wolf, Xiaoxia Bai

The IceCube Neutrino Observatory and its prototype, AMANDA, were built in South Pole ice, using powerful hot-water drills to cleanly bore >100 holes to depths up to 2500 m. The construction of these particle physics detectors provided a unique opportunity ...

IceTop: The surface component of IceCube

Shirit Cohen, Mathieu Ribordy, Matthias Wolf, Xiaoxia Bai

IceTop, the surface component of the IceCube Neutrino Observatory at the South Pole, is an air shower array with an area of 1 km(2). The detector allows a detailed exploration of the mass composition of primary cosmic rays in the energy range from about 10 ...

Design and performance of the South Pole Acoustic Test Setup

Mathieu Ribordy

The South Pole Acoustic Test Setup (SPATS) was built to evaluate the acoustic characteristics of the South Pole ice in the 10-100 kHz frequency range, for the purpose of assessing the feasibility of an acoustic neutrino detection array at the South Pole. T ...
