The instrumentation was installed close to the shoreline and consisted of a 13-m-high meteorological mast instrumented at three levels, and a high-range vertical monostatic sodar. Tethered balloon flights were carried out for 3 days under different atmospheric conditions. The analysis of the available data revealed interesting features of the vertical structure of the atmosphere over the island, with the development of a convective internal boundary layer (IBL) within the first 150 m above the ground, while the marine boundary layer (MBL) formed at higher altitudes, up to 450 m. Buoyant oscillations appear within the MBL in the form of gravity waves with frequencies of 7 min. Theoretical calculations of the IBL height verified the experimental results. During the night, a complex wind flow forms in the lower 250-300 m, resulting from the development of katabatic flows and topographic channeling.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">cited By (since 1996)3</style></notes></record></records></xml>
