The Distribution of 10m Temperatures on the Ross Ice Shelf

Abstract Ten-meter temperatures on the Ross Ice Shelf increased by I deg between 1958 and 1974. Surface temperatures at the “Byrd” and McMurdo stations have also risen during this period and the observed change is consistent with the 10m temperature increase. This rising trend in temperature appears...

Description
Summary:Abstract Ten-meter temperatures on the Ross Ice Shelf increased by I deg between 1958 and 1974. Surface temperatures at the “Byrd” and McMurdo stations have also risen during this period and the observed change is consistent with the 10m temperature increase. This rising trend in temperature appears to have an anti-phase relationship with northern hemisphere cooling.
