Local scaling characteristics of Antarctic surface layer turbulence 1Atmospheric Science Group, Department of Geosciences, Texas Tech University, Lubbock, Texas, USA *now at: National Weather Service, St. Louis, Missouri, USA Abstract. Over the past years, several studies have validated Nieuwstadt's local scaling hypothesis by utilizing turbulence observations from the mid-latitude, nocturnal stable boundary layers. In this work, we probe into the local scaling characteristics of polar, long-lived stable boundary layers by analyzing turbulence data from the South Pole region of the Antarctic Plateau.
