摘要

摘要探索珠穆朗玛峰的积雪深度，这是我们星球上最人迹罕至的地方之一，长期以来一直是人们的兴趣所在。以往报告的雪深不一致，存在很大的不确定性。在这里，我们报道了2022年5月对珠穆朗玛峰北坡积雪深度的探地雷达测量。我们的雷达测量显示，雪深度沿北坡逐渐增加，山顶的平均深度估计为9.5±1.2 m.这次更新的珠穆朗玛峰积雪深度比之前报道的数值（0.9–3.5）深得多 m）。

Brief communication: How deep is the snow on Mount Everest?

Abstract. Exploring the snow depth on Mount Everest, one of the most inaccessible places on our planet, has long been a topic of interest. Previously reported snow depths have been inconsistent and have large uncertainties. Here, we report the ground-penetrating radar survey of snow depth along the north slope of Mount Everest in May 2022. Our radar measurements display a gradual increasing transition of snow depth along the north slope, and the mean depth estimates at the summit are 9.5±1.2 m. This updated snow depth on Mount Everest is much deeper than previously reported values (0.9–3.5 m).

期刊介绍： The Cryosphere (TC) is a not-for-profit international scientific journal dedicated to the publication and discussion of research articles, short communications, and review papers on all aspects of frozen water and ground on Earth and on other planetary bodies. The main subject areas are the following: ice sheets and glaciers; planetary ice bodies; permafrost and seasonally frozen ground; seasonal snow cover; sea ice; river and lake ice; remote sensing, numerical modelling, in situ and laboratory studies of the above and including studies of the interaction of the cryosphere with the rest of the climate system.
