Measurements
The measurements made at Adelie Land are listed in the following tables. (Note: If End Year is blank, measurements are ongoing.)
Cryosphere Measurements
| Atmosphere Measurements

The SMB of Antarctica is the net result of precipitation and surface ablation terms like evaporation/sublimation, melt and run-off, and blowing snow. Here the SMB data are obtained thanks to stake networks and snow density measurements in the first 2.5m of snow or deeper. Measurement protocols and accuracy are described in detail in Eisen et al. (2008)
SMB values (stake height and density measurements) are available since 2004:
1. A 50-stake network is measured monthly (when measrements are possible) in a blue ice area close to CP (Favier et al., 2011).
2. along a 156-km stake-line (91 stakes) from 30m asl to 1820 m asl (Agosta et al., 2012)
3. Measurements at Dôme C (Libois et al., 2014)
