Synoptic circulation patterns and its relationship with ground thermal characteristics along an altitudinal transect on sub-Antarctic Marion Island

The climate of Marion Island is driven by synoptic weather patterns which have also been suggested to influence the soil thermal characteristics. The primary aim of this work was to examine the effect of synoptic weather systems on soil temperature dynamics on an altitudinal gradient on the eastern...
