The Novaya Zemlya Bora and its impact on Barents Sea air-sea interaction
[1] Novaya Zemlya is a mountainous archipelago in the EasternArctic.Weather station data indicates that southeasterly high-speed winds are frequent, especially during the winter. Although it has been proposed that a bora is responsible for these winds, there has been no quantitative analysis of the...
