  We present an analysis of meteorological data from the second generation of
the Kunlun Automated Weather Station (KLAWS-2G) at Dome A, Antarctica during
2015 and 2016. We find that a strong temperature inversion exists for all the
elevations up to 14 m that KLAWS-2G can reach, and lasts for more than 10 hours
for 50% or more of the time when temperature inversion occurs. The average wind
speeds at 4 m elevation are 4.2 m/s and 3.8 m/s during 2015 and 2016,
respectively. The strong temperature inversion and moderate wind speed lead to
a shallow turbulent boundary layer height at Dome A. By analyzing the
temperature and wind shear profiles, we note telescopes should be elevated by
at least 8 m above the ice. We also find that the duration of temperature
inversions, and the wind speed, vary considerably from year to year. Therefore,
long-term and continuous data are still needed for the site survey at Dome A.
