PhD candidate @MonashUni @SAEF_arc researching climate drivers of Antarctic snow accumulation | views are my own | Follower of Christ
5/5🧵Key findings:
1) In Enderby Land, significant increases in snow accumulation❄️ – approx 32 % of regional annual average – occur during all extreme El Niño events considered

2) 2015/16 El Niño-SMB changes across Antarctica extend beyond 5th & 95th probability distributions for SON average

4/5 🧵We examine the range of seasonal SMB responses across different Antarctic catchments during different intensities of ENSO events using high-resolution output from a reanalysis-forced Antarctic regional climate model
