Temperature Dependence of Ice Crystal Size in Tibetan Ice Cores
Year: 2025

Abstract. The ice crystal size in ice core can not only reflect the glacial strain process but also be connected to climate change. However, the process of ice crystal size variation along ice core in mountain glacier remains largely unexplored. Here, we continuously measured the ice grain areas along two deep ice cores drilled from the Tibetan Plateau, and found that the two ice cores exhibit vertical grain area differentiation at the hundred-meter scale, analogous to polar ice-core profiles, r
