Abstract
Results of measurements performed on and around an Antarctic blue-ice field are presented in this paper. The measurements were carried out in a valley or Heimefrontfjella, Dronning Maud Land, during a 2-month field season in the austral summer of 1992-93. A simple model is used to evaluate the surrface-energy balance from measured meteorological quantities. The large differences in the surface-energy-balance values between snow and blue ice are mainly caused by differences in albedo, surface roughness, thermal conductivity and short-wave radiation extinction coefficient. -from Authors
