Description
Summary:This map of Antarctica shows the approximate boundaries of areas that have warmed or cooled over the past 35 years. The map is based on a data set constructed by NCAR scientist Andrew Monaghan and colleagues and used to publish findings in 2008 about Antarctic temperature trends. The data combines observations from ground-based weather stations, which are few and far between, with analysis of ice cores used to reveal past temperatures.
