THERMALLY AND FRICTIONALLY PRODUCED WIND SHEAR IN THE PLANETARY BOUNDARY LAYER AT LITTLE AMERICA, ANTARCTICA

Pilot balloon wind profiles obtained by the first and second Byrd Antarctic Expeditions arc analyzed to show that the mean observed wind shear between the surface and 1,000 m. can be resolved into a frictional component which produces rz normal boundary layer wind spiral, and a thermal component res...
