Long term temperature trend analysis in Antarctica
Global climate change has become a significant topic of study during recent years, as searches are made for trends in climate data, their causes and possible effects. Antarcüa is important as an indicator of change in global temperatures as climate models have predicted that the polar regions may sh...
