The surface wind field inland of the intense coastal kataba!,•c wind regime at Terra Nova Bay, Antarctica, has been studied both observationally and numerically. Airborne surveys of wind-induced features on the snow surface have been used to construct he time-averaged winter surface airflow pattern....
