Meteorological and snow data from Aboa 2009-2010
Entry ID: FMI_ATMOSPHERE_AND_SNOW_ABOA_2009-2010

[ Update this Record ]

Summary
Abstract: The measurements were made in the vicinity of the Finnish Antarctic research station Aboa (73S, 13W). The measurement period was December 2009 - January 2010.

The following quantities were measured:

Over snow-covered glacier and blue ice:
- downwelling longwave radiation
- longwave radiation emitted by the surface
- downwelling shortwave radiation
- reflected shortwave radiation
- spectral albedo

Over snow-covered glacier:
- vertical profiles of wind speed and air temperature in the lowermost 10 m
- turbulent fluxes of heat and momentum
- vertical profiles of snow temperature and density
- snow grain size and structure (photographs)
