Abstract
Insoluble dust in a new core from Dome Argus, Central East Antarctica
Highlights
The 2004/05 Chinese Antarctic Research Expedition (CHINARE) traverse from Zhongshan station reached the summit of Dome Argus, carrying out detailed glaciological and meteorological measurements
The total mass of insoluble dust is calculated from the volume size distribution assuming an average density of 2.5 g cm–3
The dust mass concentrations are between 3.39 ppb (DA-3) and 11.07 ppb (DA-2)
Summary
The 2004/05 Chinese Antarctic Research Expedition (CHINARE) traverse from Zhongshan station reached the summit of Dome Argus, carrying out detailed glaciological and meteorological measurements. We measured the samples using a 256-channel Coulter counter (Coulter Multisizer IIe#) set up in a class 100 clean room at the Laboratoire de Glaciologie et Geophysique de l’Environnement, France. The total mass of insoluble dust is calculated from the volume size distribution assuming an average density of 2.5 g cm–3.
