Temperature, wind and atmospheric circulation in East Queen Maud Land, Antarctica
Proxy observations of wind and temperature are carried out in East Queen Maud Land. The atmospheric circulation patterns are further studied by in situ observation of the diurnal wind vector variation and the upper air soundings. It was revealed that the high wind directional constancy at Mizuho Sta...
