Surface Meteorological Observations at Mizuho Camp, East Antarctica
This paper reports the summary of the data of the surface meteorological observations carried out during the period from June to December in 1972 at Mizuho Camp, East Antarctica. Obtained results are as follows: The differences of the pressures at Mizuho Camp and Syowa Station averaged over ten days...

This paper reports the summary of the data of the surface meteorological observations carried out during the period from June to December in 1972 at Mizuho Camp, East Antarctica. Obtained results are as follows: The differences of the pressures at Mizuho Camp and Syowa Station averaged over ten days and those of the temperatures were 240-265 mb and 13-23℃. The wind speed averaged over ten days was strongest in June and decreased almost linearly from June to December. The frequency distribution of wind speed was of roughly the Gaussian distribution with the peak at about 11 m/s.
