Description
Summary:The five years program on Antarctic Climate Research (ACR) has been started by the 28th Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition (JARE). The main subjects are (I) interannual variation of Antarctic atmosphere, and (II) air-sea ice interaction. In the 28th expedition, the stress was placed on the former and the following observations were made mainly around Syowa Station (69°00′S, 39°35′E). I. Interannual variation of Antarctic atmosphere 1) Radiation and cloud distribution . Satellite observation (NOAA HRPT data receiving and processing of AVHRR data) . Radiation measurement (shortwave, longwave and microwave; surface, airborne, sonde) 2) Extension of meteorological observing area . Surface synoptic observation at Asuka Camp (71°32′S, 24°08′E, 965m a. s. l.) . Establishment of automatic weather station at Mizuho Station (70°42′S, 44°20′E, 2230m a. s. l.) and S18 point (69°02′S, 40°07′E, 620m a. s. l.) 3) Monitoring of minor constituents . CO_2 continuous measurement by NDIR . Air sampling (surface, airborne) . Total ozone by Dobson spectrophotometer and vertical profile by sonde . Aerosol sampling on research ship "SHIRASE" II. Air-Sea ice interaction . Airborne microwave (19 GHz) measurements of ice sheet and sea ice as a ground truth of satellite observation . Sea ice distribution by the AVHRR data For details, refer to T. YAMANOUCHI and H. TAKABE (Antarct. Rec., 32,53,1989).
