AN ESTIMATE OF THE MINIMUM POSSIBLE SURFACE TEMPERATURE AT THE SOUTH POLE
Computations are made of the surface and tropospheric cooling which could occur during the 6-month winter night at the South Pole if only radiation-exchange processes were operating. Actual soundings taken at the beginning and end of the 1957 winter season indicate that this assumption is hardly rea...

Summary: | Computations are made of the surface and tropospheric cooling which could occur during the 6-month winter night at the South Pole if only radiation-exchange processes were operating. Actual soundings taken at the beginning and end of the 1957 winter season indicate that this assumption is hardly realistic for the troposphere, but may be more applicable to the ozonosphere. 1. |
