TURBULENCE: AN IMPORTANT FACTOR FOR FLIGHT OPERATIONS AT ANTARTIC STATION COM. FERRAZ
Abstract: This study presents the case of an extreme wind gust event that occurred between the 18 th and 19 th of January of 2002, in the Brazilian Antarctic Station (EACF) area, where the near-ground air turbulence hindered a helicopter from landing for more than 10 hours, even under favorable gene...
