Surface-Atmosphere Interactions during a Polynya Event at Terra Nova Bay (Antarctica).
Numerical three-dimensional weather simulations, satellite imagery and automatic weather station (AWS) data are used to study a real event of coastal polynya at Terra Nova Bay (TNB), Antarctica. The event, detected with satellite images, occurred in the period 12–17 July 2006. The atmospheric simula...
