Abstract
From February 1990 to January 1991, the measurement experiment was car ried out at Zhongshan station, East Antarctica. In the experiment, mea surements of the surface radiative fluxes and wind, temperature and hu midity profiles in the lowest 32 m in the atmosphere boundary layer we re made throughout the year. The regime of the surface energy balance was analysed based on the observed data. The conclusion was derived th at in warm season (from Nov. to Feb.), large amounts of energy are abs orbed by the surface and then transported to the atmosphere in the for m of sensible a.d latent heat, while in cold season (from Mar. to Oct. ) continually radiative cooling of the surface occurs.
