拟议的工作是一个综合研究计划的一部分， 威德尔海西部的海洋学结构 应当 从美国和苏联共同占领的冰营进行 1992年2月至6月的科学家。 该项目涉及 确定海冰覆盖和海冰之间的能量交换 大气边界层。 目标是测量个体的时间序列 海冰/大气能量收支的组成部分 的漂移，并确定批量传输系数， 动量和感热与潜热的交换。 目的 的测量是扩大我们的能力， 南极环境的分析模型。 湍流 温度、风和湿度场的波动将 直接用小型快速响应的传感器测量。 这些 天文台将辅以其他天气资料， 数据和高空探测。

The proposed work is part of an integrated research program into the oceanographic structure of the western Weddell Sea. It is to be carried out from an ice camp jointly occupied by U.S. and USSR scientists from February to June 1992. This project concerns the determination of the energy exchange between the sea ice cover and the atmospheric boundary layer. The objectives are to measure time series of the individual components of the sea ice/atmosphere energy budget for the duration of the drift, and to determine the bulk transfer coefficients for the exchange of momentum and sensible and latent heat. The purpose of the measurements is to expand our capability for numerical and analytical modelling of the antarctic environment. Turbulent fluctuations in the temperature, wind, and humidity fields will be measured directly with small, fast-responding sensors. These observations will be complemented by other synoptic meteorological data and with upper air soundings.
