Abstract:

This article describes the atmospheric boundary layer structures and the turbulent flux transfers of heat and momentum over Zhongshan Station area, using Tethersonde Meteorological Tower (TMT) observation data, in the summer expedition of 1994 1995. With comparison of the atmospheric boundary layer structures and the turbulence transfers at three observation sites (with different topographic features) close to Zhongshan Station(69°22′S, 76°22′E ), it is showed that the atmospheric boundary layer structure and the turbulence flux transfer are rather complicated and quite dependent on local topographic feature in Antarctica.

Key words: atmospheric boundary layer, turbulent flux, air-ice (snow) interaction, flux-profile relation of similarity theory, Antarctica
