Analysis of ERA40 temperature and accumulation data suggests that annual mean isotopic fluctuations due to temperature change will be geographically very variable across the Peninsula: isotopic variations of 0.4 parts per thousand at James Ross Island; 0.9 parts per thousand at Dyer; and 1.3 parts p...
