A Cloud Climatology for Selected Antarctic Locations from November 1966, December 1966 and January 1967 - Meteorological Satellite Data
The report has been prepared in response to a requirement for a planning study on the suitability as temporary base camps of three selected locations along the Byrd Land and Ellsworth Land Coasts. Available meteorological satellite data for the summer-operating seasons and that portion of West Antar...
