The project was initiated within the framework of the 53rd Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition （JARE53）. Absolute gravity measurements, together with GPS measurements, were planned at several outcrops along the Prince Olav Coast and S6ya Coast of East Antarctica, including at Syowa Station. Since the icebreaker Shirase （AGB 5003） was unable to moor alongside Syowa Station, operations were somewhat restricted during JARE53. However, despite this setback, we were able to complete measurements at two sites： Syowa Station and Langhovde. The absolute gravity value at the Syowa Station IAGBN （A） site, observed using an FG-5 absolute gravimeter （serial number 210; FG-5 #210）, was 982 524 322.7＋0.1 ktGal, and the gravity change rate at the beginning of 2012 was -0.26 gGal.a-1. An absolute gravity value of 982 535 584.2~0.7 ktGal was obtained using a portable A-10 absolute gravimeter （serial number 017; A-10 #017） at the newly located site AGS01 in Langhovde.展开更多

A general method is used to deduce the dispersion relationships of describing inertia gravity waves on LE grid and Arakawa A―E grids, which are then compared with the analytical solution (AS) in re- solved or under-resolved cases, using two-order central difference or four-order compact differ- ence scheme from the frequency and group velocity. Results show that in both resolved and under-resolved cases, no matter whether two-order central difference or four-order compact dif- ference scheme is used, the frequency and group velocity discrete errors on LE grid in describing inertia gravity waves are smaller than those of Arakawa A―E grids. At the same time, it is only on LE or Arakawa grid C that the employment of a compact difference scheme of higher difference precision can improve their accuracy in describing inertia gravity waves. However, as for the other four grids (Arakawa A,B,D and E), when the difference precision increases, the accuracy of simulating inertia gravity waves decreases.展开更多
