Observations of Sea Ice Thickness and Ablation At Mawson, 1980

Observations of the sea ice near Mawson were carried out in 1980, concentrating on the thickness of the ice at several points, and the accumulation and ablation of snow/ice cover on the ice. The ablation measurements were carried out by laying 23 ablation stakes out in two fields - a set of eight stakes in a straight line, and a set of 15 in a triangle.


Results from both sets of observations were recorded in a log book, currently archived at the Australian Antarctic Division.
