DYNAMICAL INFLUENCE OF GRAVITY WAVES GENERATED BY THE VESTFJELLA MOUNTAINS IN ANTARCTICA: RADAR OBSERVATIONS, FINE-SCALE MODELLING AND KINETIC ENERGY BUDGET ANALYSIS

Dynamical influence of gravity waves generated by the Vestfjella Mountains in Antarctica: radar observations, fine-scale modelling and kinetic energy budget analysis

Gravity waves generated by the Vestfjella Mountains (in western Droning Maud Land, Antarctica, southwest of the Finnish/Swedish Aboa/Wasa station) have been observed with the Moveable atmospheric radar for Antarctica (MARA) during the SWEDish Antarctic Research Programme (SWEDARP) in December 2007/January 2008.These radar observations are compared
