Abstract

Snow pit data: temperature, density, stratigraphy at various depths from ARSV Laurence M. Gould LMG0106, LMG0205 in the Southern Ocean from 2001-2002 (SOGLOBEC project).

Snowpits were dug at selected locations along the ice survey lines. Vertical profiles of snow temperature, density, grain size, and grain type were measured. Ice and slush layers were also noted. Results from the 22 snowpits examined in 2001 and the 16 snowpits examined in 2002 are summarized.
