DESCRIPTION OF AEROLOGY AND SEASONAL CIRCULATION PATTERNS OVER THE SYOWA BASE IN 1961
Seasonal mean values of heights and temperatures at the selected pressure surfaces are computed, using the aerological data obtained during the 4 th (1960) and the 5 th (1961) wintering observations at the Syowa Base, Antarctica. Main characteristics of the seasonal and yearly variations both in the...
