Abstract

Wind and temperature profiles measured near the Antarctic Georg von Neumayer Station in January and February 1983 are analysed with respect to situations of low cloud cover. In these situations, shallow inversions develop in the period of low sun elevation. The structure of these inversions in comparison with those in midlatitudes is explained by considering the heat fluxes near the ground, the influence of surface friction over different terrain roughness and for different Coriolis parameters.
