MAss LOst in wind fluX (MALOX)
The aim of the MAss LOst in wind fluX (MALOX) project is to better understand the phenomenon of snow transport over a coastal area characterized by strong winds. MALOX relies on a multi-disciplinary approach based on both in situ and remote sensing measurements. Satellite data (MODIS, CALIPSO) analysis will provide spatial and vertical extension of the transport phenomenon. In situ microphysical, thermodynamic, and radiative observations will be aimed at determining the surface and column integrated water content, and characterizing the wind flux at local scale during the summer. Observations will be carried out also during the winter period to observe stronger transport events and to create a complete dataset which will provide a qualitative estimate of the mass loss due to blowing snow sublimation through the difference between the water content measured at two sites along the main wind path on steep slopes, one upstream of the convergence zone of the katabatic flux (Larsen Glacier, LS, 74°57'S 161°46'E) and the other downstream, near the coast (Inexpressible Island, InS, 74°56’S 163°41’E).

- Statement
- The main objective of the project is to acquire data about the phenomenon of snow transport over a coastal area characterized by strong winds using remote sensing and microphysical, thermodynamic, and radiative observations in situ. Data of surface and column integrated water content, characterizing the wind flux at local scale during summer and winter, will provide a qualitative estimate of the mass loss due to blowing snow sublimation.
