| Additional
information about Taylor Dome is available at the main Taylor Dome web page. Statistics: The main
Taylor
Dome core was drilled at latitude 77º47'47'' S, longitude 158º43'26'' E,
elevation 2365 m in January 1994. Mean annual surface temperature at the
site is -43ºC. Snow accumulation rate is 5 - 7 g
cm-2a-1. Total depth at the drill site is 554
meters; basal temperature = -22ºC. Average depth of ice in the general
vicinity ~800 m. Please cite Morse et al., 1999, for these
statistics. [Morse DL, Waddington ED, Marshall HP, Neumann TA,
Steig EJ, Dibb JE, Winebrenner DP, Arthern RJ. 1999. Accumulation rate
measurements at Taylor Dome, East Antarctica: Techniques and Strategies
for mass balance measurements in polar environments. Geografiska
Annaler (in press)].
