Meteorological observations at Syowa Station in 1988 by the 29th Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition
This paper describes the results of meteorological observations (mainly surface and upper-air) at Syowa Station from February 1,1988 to January 31,1989 and ozone observations on board the icebreaker SHIRASE during the period from November 1987 to December 1987.
