Estimating Sensible and Latent Heat Fluxes Using the Integral Method from in situ Aircraft Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: n September 2009, several Aerosonde unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) were flown from McMurdo Station to Terra Nova Bay, Antarctica, with the purpose of collecting three-dimensional measurements of the atmospheric boundary ...
An Analysis of Near-Surface Winds, Air Temperature, and Cyclone Activity in Terra Nova Bay, Antarctica, from 1993 to 2009
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In September 2009, the first unmanned aerial vehicles were flown over Terra Nova Bay, Antarctica, to collect information regarding air?sea interactions. Prior to the field season, wind and temperature data from a local ...
The Influence of Blowing Snow and Precipitation on Snow Depth Change across the Ross Ice Shelf and Ross Sea Regions of Antarctica
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Measuring snowfall in the polar regions is an issue met with many complications. Across the Antarctic, ground-based precipitation measurements are only available from a sparse network of manned stations or field studies. ...
A Dynamical Investigation of the May 2004 McMurdo Antarctica Severe Wind Event Using AMPS
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: On 15?16 May 2004 a severe windstorm struck McMurdo, Antarctica. The Antarctic Mesoscale Prediction System (AMPS) is used, along with available observations, to analyze the storm. A synoptic-scale cyclone weakens as it ...
