LAWS GOVERNING PHYSICAL PROCESSES IN THE BOUNDARY LAYER OF THE ARCTIC
The boundary layer of the atmosphere in the Arctic has a number of important characteristics which upon investigation, presumably will make possible the ascertainment of certain previously unknown peculiarities of meteorological phenomena in the lower layer of its atmosphere. The fundamental charact...
