THORPEX Programme Office World Meteorological Organization WIND TURBULENCE CHARACTERISTICS AND SEASONAL COMPARISON AT THE COM. FERRAZ ANTARTIC STATION FROM 2003 TO 2004

Abstract: This study presents the first characterization and a preliminary seasonal comparison of the wind turbulence at the Com. Ferraz Antarctic Station (EACF) from 2003 to 2004. Turbulence was estimated using the wind gust factor and wind turbulence definitions used in applied engineering studies...

Description
Summary:Abstract: This study presents the first characterization and a preliminary seasonal comparison of the wind turbulence at the Com. Ferraz Antarctic Station (EACF) from 2003 to 2004. Turbulence was estimated using the wind gust factor and wind turbulence definitions used in applied engineering studies of meteorology. The EACF (62°05’S; 58°23.5’;W) is located on
