On the Rates of Growth of Grains and Crystals in South Polar Firn

The size of firn crystals as a function of age has been investigated in thin sections to a depth of 49 m at the South Pole. Grain cross-sections increased in size from 0.24 mm 2 at 0.1 m depth to 0.63 mm 2 at 10 m. Crystals, as distinct from grains, increased in size from 0.18 to 0.43 mm 2 over the...
