Gary DaCosta, Elaine Sadler 1. South Pole Report Burton gave a summary of the first winter campaign at the South Pole, which was an undoubted success given that our equipment functioned all winter and quantitative data was obtained.
Communications is a central issue for maximising results from the available resources.
Demonstration of the ground level turbulent layer, with more stable conditions above, and our obtaining of an extensive data base of the turbulence levels throughout the winter. The IRPS may need to be moved to the new CARA building, new filters are to be installed, an ion-pump provided and an improved LN2 filling system to be put into operation. The new kite and balloon microthermal experiments will be commissioned. Unfortunately, though the instrument looks as though it will be technically very good, resources to construct it are not yet available. We discussed whether to approach CARA to collaborate over its development.
