Tephrochronology of the Siple Dome ice core, West Antarctica: correlations and sources
A total of 24 tephra-bearing volcanic layers have been recognized between 550 and 987 m depth in the Siple Dome A (SDM-A) ice core, in addition to a number already recognized tephra in the upper 550 m (Dunbar et al., 2003; Kurbatov et al., 2006). The uniform composition and distinctive morphological of the particles composing these tephra layers suggest deposition as a result of explosive volca...
متن کاملBrightness and Extinction at Dome C , Antarctica
The recent discovery of exceptional seeing conditions at Dome C, Antarctica, raises the possibility of constructing an optical observatory there with unique capabilities. However, little is known from an astronomer's perspective about the optical sky brightness and extinction at Antarctic sites. We review the contributions to sky brightness at high-latitude sites, and calculate the amount of us...
متن کاملThe Accumulation Pattern across Siple Dome, West Antarctica, Inferred from Radar-detected Internal Layers
The spatial distribution of accumulation across Siple Dome,West Antarc-tica, is determined from analysis of the shapes of internal layers detected by radio-echo sounding (RES) measurements. A range of assumed accumulation patterns is used in an ice-flow model to calculate a set of internal layer patterns. Inverse techniques are used to determine which assumed accumulation pattern produces a cal...
متن کاملStrain measurement of moving periodic objects with optical sensors
Measuring the strain of an object provides information about axial loads which it is exposed to. In some applications, this information is wanted not from still-standing, but from linearly moving objects. Measuring the strain of V-belts, e.g., permits investigating the operational behavior of combustion engine belt drives. For this purpose, new noncontact measurement methods using optical senso...
متن کاملMethyl chloride in a deep ice core from Siple Dome, Antarctica
[1] Methyl chloride (CH3Cl) is a naturally occurring ozone-depleting substance and a significant component of the atmospheric chlorine burden. In this study CH3Cl was analyzed in air bubbles from the West Antarctic Siple Dome deep ice core with gas ages ranging from about 65 kyr BP to the Late Holocene. CH3Cl levels were below the modern Antarctic atmospheric level of 530 ppt in glacial ice (45...
