Evaluation of the Antarctic Boundary Layer Thermodynamic Structure in MERRA2 Using Dropsonde Observations from the Concordiasi Campaign

Abstract Recent high‐resolution dropsonde observations from the 2010 Concordiasi field campaign in austral spring season show that surface‐based inversions (SBIs) over Antarctica are frequently eroded, with well‐mixed boundary layers occurring 33% and 18% of the time in West and East Antarctica, res...
