Surface temperature distribution in Lutzow-Holm Bay and its neighborhood
All the NOAA/AVHRR thermal infrared images received at Syowa Station from February 1990 to January 1991 were analyzed to make temperature distribution maps. From this analysis the warmer area in midslope, i. e. the so-called thermal belt (D. GREENLAND, The Encyclopedia of Climatology, ed. by OLIVER...
