[1] Routine radiation and meteorological data at South Pole Station are used to investigate historical discrepancies of up to 50 W m2 in the monthly mean surface energy budget and to investigate the behavior of turbulent heat fluxes under stable atmospheric temperature conditions. The seasonal cycle...
