Local spatial variability in the occurrence of summer precipitation in the Sør Rondane Mountains, Antarctica

Alfonso Ferrone, Étienne Vignon, Andrea Zonato, and Alexis Berne

Data sets

Radar and ground-level measurements collected during the POPE 2020 campaign at Princess Elisabeth Antarctica Alfonso Ferrone and Alexis Berne https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7428690

Short summary

In austral summer 2019/2020, three K-band Doppler profilers were deployed across the Sør Rondane Mountains, south of the Belgian base Princess Elisabeth Antarctica. Their measurements, along with atmospheric simulations and reanalyses, have been used to study the spatial variability in precipitation over the region, as well as investigate the interaction between the complex terrain and the typical flow associated with precipitating systems.
