Acoustic sounding of the atmospheric boundary layer at Halley, Antarctica

Culf, Alistair D.. 1989 Acoustic sounding of the atmospheric boundary layer at Halley, Antarctica. Antarctic Science, 1 (04). 363-372. 10.1017/S0954102089000544

Abstract
The records obtained from a monostatic acoustic sounder run at Halley, Antarctica, have been analysed with the use of data from instruments on a 32 m mast and from radiosonde ascents. Echoes representing ground-based layers, waves, and shallow gravity currents are discussed. The spiky ground-based echo is related to a westerly surface wind, whilst a layered wavy flow is related to surface easterlies. Such relationships are consistent with the sloped inversion wind regime at Halley.
