The JARE-53 wintering party conducted the second year of the research and logistical program of the six-year plan of Japanese Antarctic Program Phase VIII following the handover from the JARE-52 wintering party on 12 February 2012.

However, the wintering activities were not affected by any major adverse events. JARE-53 conducted comprehensive observations of the Antarctic atmosphere as one of the prioritized observation projects named "Earth's Environmental Change Revealed by Observing the Antarctic Middle and Upper Atmosphere".
