Abstract
A total of 3 years of blowing-snow observations and associated meteorology along a
7 m mast at site D17 in coastal Adélie Land are presented. The
observations are used to address three atmospheric-moisture issues related to the
occurrence of blowing snow, a feature which largely affects many regions of
Antarctica: (1) blowing-snow sublimation raises the moisture content of the surface atmosphere close to saturation, and atmospheric models and
meteorological analyses that do not carry blowing-snow parameterizations are
affected by a systematic dry bias; (2) while snowpack modelling with a
parameterization of surface-snow erosion by wind can reproduce the
variability of snow accumulation and ablation, ignoring the high levels of
atmospheric-moisture content associated with blowing snow results in
overestimating surface sublimation, affecting the energy budget of the
snowpack; (3) the well-known profile method of calculating turbulent moisture
fluxes is not applicable when blowing snow occurs, because moisture gradients
are weak due to blowing-snow sublimation, and the impact of measurement
uncertainties are strongly amplified in the case of strong winds.
