Surface processes and drivers of the snow water stable isotopic composition at Dome C, East Antarctica – a multi-dataset and modelling analysis by I. Ollivier, I. Ollivier, H. C. Steen-Larsen, B. Stenni, L. Arnaud, M. Casado, A. Cauquoin, G. Dreossi, C. Genthon, B. Minster, G. Picard, M. Werner, A. Landais

“…We first show that water vapour fluxes at the surface of the ice sheet result in a net annual sublimation of snow, from 3.1 to 3.7 mm w.e. yr<span class="inline-formula">⁻¹</span> (water equivalent) between 2018 and 2020, corresponding to 12 % to 15 % of the annual surface mass balance. We find that the precipitation isotopic signal cannot fully explain the mean, nor the variability in the isotopic composition observed in the snow, from annual to intra-monthly timescales. …”
