Surface snow samples and 10-meter depth snow temperatures were collected daily along a traverse route connecting Syowa, Mizuho, Dome Fuji, and a JASE meeting point in Antarctica. K. Fukui led the field work, which aimed to understand the relationship between stable isotopes in snow and annual mean temperature. Snow samples were analyzed for oxygen isotopes and deuterium.
Use Cases
- Modeling the relationship between stable isotopes and annual mean temperature based on paired snow sample and temperature data.
- Analyzing spatial variation in snow isotope composition based on samples collected along a traverse route.
- Studying Antarctic snowpack temperature profiles based on daily measurements at 10-meter depth.
- Investigating snow accumulation age based on surface snow samples described as being 2-3 years old.
Strengths
- Data includes paired measurements of stable isotopes and 10-meter snow temperature.
- Samples were collected daily at each camp site along a defined traverse route.
- Field work was led by a named researcher, K. Fukui.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
