Deuterium, Tritium, andβactivity in a snow core taken on the summit of mont blanc (french alps). Determination of the accumulation rate

Abstract: ABSTRACT. Deuterium, tritium, and gross fJ ac tivity measurements have been performed to a depth of 16 m on a snow core taken on Mont Blanc (French Alps) to establish a chronology of its formation and then d educe the annua l accumul a tion. These three independent methods show th a t the core was formed over a three-yea r period . This corresponds to a m ea n annual accumulation of 2.8 m water equivalent In addition, the isotopic measureme nts indicate the ex iste nce of a n altitude effect in the distributio… Show more

“…Similar results have been found by Jouzel et al (1977) in the Mont Blanc area. This effect does not appear in polar glaciers; there, the profile of total beta activity reproduces horizons originating from precipitation with a high fall-out rate especially in the years 1963-64.…”

“…Dans cette zone où la fusion n'affecte qu'exceptionnellement le bilan thermique, on peut constater ( fig. 2) (Jouzel et al, 1983). Il est plus proche du gradient moyen mensuel en deutérium dans les précipitations comparé aux temp~ ratures moyennes mensuelles (IAEA, 1981) On peut également constater que les valeurs isotopiques moyennes entre le Col du Dôme (-115 %/ S.M.O.W.)…”
