Sublimation measurements of tundra and taiga snowpack in Alaska by K. A. Stockert, E. S. Euskirchen, S. L. Stuefer

“…Continuous latent heat data collected with eddy covariance (EC) measurements from 2010–2021 were used to calculate snow sublimation at six locations in northern Alaska: three Arctic tundra sites at distinct topographical and vegetation communities in the Imnavait Creek watershed on the North Slope underlain by continuous permafrost, and three lowland boreal forest/taiga sites in discontinuous permafrost in interior Alaska near Fairbanks. Mean surface sublimation rates range from 0.08–0.15 <span class="inline-formula">mm d⁻¹</span> and 15–27 <span class="inline-formula">mm yr⁻¹</span> at the six sites, representing, on average, 21 % of the measured solid precipitation and 8 %–16 % of the cumulative annual water vapor flux to the atmosphere (evaporation plus sublimation). …”
