Short summary
This study employed the numerical model to simulate an intense blowing snow event near Zhongshan Station, East Antarctica, from 15–17 July 2022. While primarily driven by a mid-latitude cyclone, the event’s evolution was strongly modulated by complex local topography, which influenced airflow and enhanced snow transport. Terrain-induced uplift intensified snowfall and prolonged blizzard conditions, underscoring the importance of high-resolution modeling for Antarctic weather research.
