Abstract
Abstract Snow stakes have generally been the common technique for direct measurements of snow depths. However, on Antarctic fast ice such observations, especially for budget computations, must be adjusted for the presence of snow‐water infiltration‐congelation ice that is formed through the upward infiltration of seawater through cracks in the fast ice. Investigations in 1970 and 1971 showed that actual snow accumulation on fast ice is two to three times the snow depth that can be directly measured with a stake.
