| Summary: | P(論文) In conjunction with the polar sub-programme within the objectives and planning framework of the Global Atmospheric Research Programme (GARP), the Japanese Polar Experiment (POLEX) is designed to augment and contribute to the First GARP Global Experiment (FGGE) in 1978-1979. This paper outlines planning and implementation of the Japanese POLEX-South which is carried out in the Antarctic by the Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition from 1978 to 1982. At Syowa Station in the Lutzow-Holm Bay area of East Antarctica, routine weather observations, data acquisition from meteorological satellites, studies on the heat budget of sea ice, and radiation characteristics of atmosphere and cryosphere are carried out. Mizuho Station in the inland is occupied during the POLEX-South; the main subject of research for 1979 is the radiation budget and the air-ice sheet interactions; observations of surface inversion layer is the main subject for 1980; and regional weather and climate regime in a wide area is the main research subject in 1981. Current status of data processing and numerical experiments are described briefly. departmental bulletin paper
