The coreless winter at Scott Base, Antarctica
Abstract The temporary early‐winter reversal of the downward trend in monthly mean surface air temperatures, which has been noted for other stations in the Ross Sea – South Pole region, is a particularly marked and persistent feature at Scott Base. An examination of temperature records shows that th...

| Summary: | Abstract The temporary early‐winter reversal of the downward trend in monthly mean surface air temperatures, which has been noted for other stations in the Ross Sea – South Pole region, is a particularly marked and persistent feature at Scott Base. An examination of temperature records shows that this reversal in the trend is probably due to a more frequent destruction of the low‐level surface inversion in these months, rather than a temporary increase in the level of warm air advection into the region. |
