ABSTRACT. Output of a 14 year integration with a high-resolution (55 km 55 km) regional atmos-pheric climate model is used to study the response of Antarctic near-surface climate to the Antarctic Oscillation (AAO), the periodical strengthening and weakening of the circumpolar vortex in the Southern...
