DESCRIPTION:Low-level jets (LLJs) play a crucial role in snow redistributi
 on over ice shelves\, sea-ice dynamics\, and ocean circulation variability
 . To better understand these impacts\, we analyzed LLJs using radiosonde p
 rofiles measured during the late austral summer over the coastal region of
  the Amundsen Sea Embayment. Additionally\, we assessed the performance of
  the polar-optimized Weather Research and Forecasting (Polar WRF) model in
  simulating the observed LLJs and their generation mechanisms. Our finding
 s indicate that katabatic winds and their enhancement by synoptic forcing 
 are the key factors of LLJ formation in this region.
