Turbulence characteristics determined in the Surface Layer on NIS (Nansen Ice Sheet ), upwind a steep obstacle, in 1998-1999.
Entry ID:
Turbulent_Fluxes_on_NIS_98-99
Summary
Abstract:
Turbulence measurements have been performed on a flat ice sheet in a coastal
area, close to Terra Nova Bay Italian station in Antarctica. Measurements have been performed at 2 and 10 m above ground level, that is about 20m over mean sea level.The measuring site is frequently beaten by katabatic winds flowing from the Antarctic Plateau toward the Ross sea along the Reeves and Priestley glaciers. ... ![]() Geographic Coverage
