Weather patterns of the coastal zone of Petuniabukta, central Spitsbergen in the period 2008–2010
Abstract This paper presents the first results of measurements of global solar radiation, albedo, ground surface and 2-m air temperature, relative humidity, and wind speed and di- rection carried out in the central part of Spitsbergen Island in the period 2008-2010. The study site was located on the...
