A stratification model of surface snow at Dome Fuji Station, Antarctica

A stratification model of surface snow on the ice sheet, which includes snow density evolution, is proposed. Using the temperature profile in the surface snow layer obtained at Dome Fuji Station, Antarctica, snow density evolution under various accumulation conditions was simulated. It is demonstrated that water vapor diffusion is very important for the snow density evolution, and temperature and accumulation at the snow surface are the most important factors that determine the future snow density profile below the surface

Estimation of annual layer thickness from stratigraphical analysis of Dome Fuji deep ice core

Dating of ice cores is of important but is difficult for an ice core where there is low snow accumulation, and also for the deep part because seasonal chemical and isotopic signals are not easily preserved due to vapor migration after snow deposition and molecular diffusion in the deep part of ice sheet. In this paper, an attempt to reveal annual layer thickness is conducted on the basis of precise number density measurement of air bubbles and air hydrates. The annual layer thickness from air bubbles and hydrates agrees well with a calculated value within 10-15% at all depths of the 2500 m deep core. The obtained thickness in the interglacial period according to Eemian period in the Greenland ice core was half of the calculated value
