Numerical simulations of the katabatic layer observed during the GMEX experiment
- Univ. Paul Sabatier, Toulouse (France). Lab. d`Aerologie
The GIMEX experiment (Greenland Ice Margin EXperiment, 1991) was carried out in the Soendre Stromfjord area (67{degree}05`N 50{degree}14W), in the southwestern part of Greenland during the summer of 1991. Van den Broeke et al. (1994) have described in detail the experimental set up. The topography of the area and the location of the stations along a west-east transect perpendicular to the edge of the Greenland ice sheet is presented. The micrometeorological measurements come from a series of masts, in particular masts 4, 5, 6, 7 and 9 and from the captive balloon (BC) site. From the 52 days of the experiment the authors have selected the 12 July 1991. This day was characterized by a calm and stationary large-scale meteorological situation with small inter-diurnal variations.
