Abstract:

Based on the eddy covariance measurements and the gradient observations in the near surface layer during the summer of 2008,The characteristics of surface turbulent parameters of the ice sheet nearby Zhongshan station over the Antarctica are presented. After performing the quality control with the triple rotation method and planar fit technique,turbulent intensity (I),stability parameter (z/L),surface friction velocity (u),drag coefficient (Cd),surface roughness (z0),momentum flux (τ) and sensible heat flux...

Key words: Antarctica, Zhongshan Station, turbulent parameters, turbulent fluxes, eddy correlation method, aerodynamics method
