A physical climatology of the Antarctic Plateau
Thesis (Ph.D.)--Boston University The Antarctic Plateau is defined on the basis of elevation and slope, being above 2000 meters and with less than a one-degree slope in East Antarctica and being above 1500 meters with less than a one-degree slope in West Antarctica. This region is presented as a hig...
