The Antarctic research stations of Dome C and Halley lie at similar latitudes (∼75°S) and are thus subject to similar diurnal variation of solar radiation at the top of the atmosphere. However, the response of the atmospheric boundary layer to this diurnally varying forcing differs greatly at the tw...
