Summary
Abstract:
The Antarctic Planetary Boundary Layer (PBL) plays a crucial role in connecting
the atmospheric, the oceanic, and cryospheric components of the Antarctic climatic system. The knowledge of the Antarctic PBL is still poor in terms of theoretical understanding as well as in terms of available data. The annual radiative balance is negative and therefore the air layer close to the surface is cooled for ...  Geographic Coverage

Quality
An automatic procedure to acquire, process and store the Sodar data on line has
been developed. A main file (in binary format) where all information needed to reconstruct the faxsimile record and an offline vertical wind field analysis is provided. The other measurement systems use specific software delivered by the factory when the equipment have been purchased. The re-processing of the data off line is possible with a specific software package produced inside the group.
