Title Inhibition of the positive snow-albedo feedback by precipitation in interior Antarctica Type Journal
Year 2012 Publication Nature Climate Change Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue 11 Pages 795-798
Keywords limate change Cryospheric science
Abstract This study uses satellite data to study snow grain size–albedo relationships over the whole Antarctic Plateau. The findings suggest that increased precipitation resulting from climate change will effectively compensate for the decreased albedo that should have resulted from warming, thereby inhibiting the expected ice–albedo feedback.

Title Present weather-sensor tests for measuring drifting snow Type Journal Article
Year 2011 Publication ANNALS OF GLACIOLOGY Abbreviated Journal
Volume 52 Issue 58 Pages 176-184
Keywords
Abstract In Antarctica, blowing snow accounts for a major component of the surface mass balance near the coast. Measurements of precipitation and blowing snow are scarce, and therefore collected data would allow testing of numerical models of mass flux over this region. A present weather station (PWS), Biral VPF730, was set up on the coast at Cap Prud'homme station, 5 km from Dumont d'Urville (DDU), principally to quantify precipitation. Since we expected to be able to determine blowing-snow fluxes from the PWS data, we tested this device first on our experimental site, the Lac Blanc pass. An empirical calibration was made with a snow particle counter. Although the physics of the phenomenon was not well captured, the flux outputs were better than those from FlowCapts. The first data from Antarctica were reanalyzed. The new calibration seems to be accurate for estimating the high blowing-snow flux with an interrogation of the precipitation effects.

Title Atmospheric Temperature Measurement Biases on the Antarctic Plateau Type Journal Article
Year 2011 Publication J. Atmos. Oceanic Technol. Abbreviated Journal
Volume 28 Issue 12 Pages 1598-1605
Keywords
Abstract Observations of atmospheric temperature made on the Antarctic plateau with thermistors housed in naturally (wind) ventilated radiation shields are shown to be significantly warm biased by solar radiation. High incoming solar flux and high surface albedo result in radiation biases in Gill (multiplate) styled shields that can occasionally exceed 10°C in summer in case of low wind speed. Although stronger and more frequent when incoming solar radiation is high, biases exceeding 8°C are found even when solar is less than 200 Wm-2. Comparing with sonic thermometers, which are not affected by radiation but which are too complex to be routinely used for mean temperature monitoring, commercially available aspirated shields are shown to efficiently protect thermistor measurements from solar radiation biases. Most of the available in situ reports of atmospheric temperature on the Antarctic plateau are from automatic weather stations that use passive shields and are thus likely warm biased in the summer. In spite of low power consumption, deploying aspirated shields at remote locations in such a difficult environment may be a challenge. Bias correction formulae are not easily derived and are obviously shield dependent. On the other hand, because of a strong dependence of bias to wind speed, filtering out temperature reports for wind speed less than a given threshold (about 4-6 ms-1 for the shields tested here) may be an efficient way to quality control the data, albeit at the cost of significant data loss and records biased towards high wind speed cases.

Title Étude des précipitations en Antarctique par télédétection micro-onde passive Type Report
Year 2011 Publication Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages
Keywords
Abstract Le bilan de masse de l'Antarctique est un facteur clé concernant l'élévation du niveau des
mers. Les différents modèles ayant contribué à la réalisation du dernier rapport IPCC prédisent
une augmentation des précipitations entre 0 et 50% en Antarctique d'ici 2100. L'acquisition de
données de terrain sur ce continent étant difficile, nous ne savons pas mesurer les événements de
précipitation, et par conséquent comment évaluer la fiabilité des différents modèles.
Néanmoins, les données micro-ondes passives pourraient permettre de détecter les chutes
de neige. Lorsque de la neige fraîche se dépose, l'émissivité du manteau neigeux augmente
généralement, ce qui devrait être repérable dans les données de température de brillance.
Cependant d'autres processus peuvent affecter l'émissivité de la neige : les variations de la
température de surface, la fonte, le vent, la formation de givre de surface... Il est donc nécessaire
de déterminer quel processus est responsable d'une augmentation de la température de brillance.
En comparant les signaux satellites aux réanalyses ERA interim et à des mesures de terrain, ce
stage a consisté à la mise au point d'une méthode permettant de détecter les chutes de neige.
Cet algorithme devrait permettre de réaliser des statistiques sur ce sujet. Les modèles
climatiques divergeant fortement sur le nombre d'évènements de précipitation par an, nous
pourrions alors évaluer la capacité des différents modèles à reproduire ce paramètre.

Title ANALYSE PRELIMINAIRE DE DONNEES METEOROLOGIQUES EN CONTEXTE GLACIAIRE. CAS DE DOME C (ANTARCTIQUE, ANNEE 2010) ET DU GLACIER D’ARGENTIERE (ALPES, FRANCE, ETE 2010) Type Report

Abstract Ce stage traite de deux cas d’étude météorologique en contexte glaciaire de haute altitude, à
Dôme C (Antarctique, 3250 m d’altitude ) et sur la glacier d’Argentière (Alpes françaises, de
2400 à 2800 m d’altitude).
L’analyse des données issues de deux stations météorologiques automatiques implantées à 25
km au Nord et au Sud du site de Dôme C pendant l’année 2010 a confirmé l’existence de
hausses ponctuelles et de grande ampleur des températures autour du site. Ces évènements
chauds ont déjà été enregistrés à Dôme C même, et leur origine est encore mal connue.
L’estimation de bilans de masse estivaux pour l’année 2010 en zone d’ablation par la méthode
degré-jour, pour deux profils transversaux du réseau de balises implantées sur le glacier
d’Argentière dans le massif du Mont-Blanc donne des résultats encourageants. Les valeurs
obtenues sont satisfaisantes comparées aux bilans de masse évalués par lecture de balises.
