HONG KONG: A new study shows that strong winds are shifting vast amounts of Antarctica’s snow into the sea or the atmosphere.
In a new study, climate scientists have found that strong winds are stripping snow off the ice of Antarctica, potentially threatening to speed up sea level rise.
Indrani Das, a research scientist at the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory at Columbia University in New York City, and her colleagues looked at how much snow the winds can shift in the hostile climate of the southern continent and found that there might be less snow than scientists originally thought.
Scientists have for a long time assumed that the wind simply picked up surface snow and redistributed it somewhere else on the continent, but new research shows that powerful winds are persistently sweeping snow into the atmosphere or sea.
