Abstract:
The measurements were made in the vicinity of Aboa station at 73S, 13W. The measurement period was December 2007 - January 2008.
The following quantities were measured:
At two sites, one over snow-covered glacier and another over blue ice: Downwelling longwave radiation Longwave radiation emitted by the surface Downwelling shortwave radiation Reflected shortwave radiation.
At one site over snow-covered glacier: Wind and air temperature at five levels in the lowermost 6.5 m Vertical profiles of snow temperature and density Snow grain size and structure (photographs).
At two sites, one over snow-covered glacier and another over rocky area up on the nunatak: Turbulent fluxes of heat and momentum at the height of 3.5 m.
