[ Update this Record ]

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. ... View entire text
