Zur raumzeitlichen Differenzierung der Energiebilanz und des Zustandes der Schneedecke auf zwei Gletschern der Marguerite Bay, Antarktische Halbinsel - Aspekte des Klimas und des Klimawandels am Rande der Antarktis
English Abstract The Antarctic Peninsula is a region of special interest with respect to the regional impact of global climate change. With its large extent from north to south the mountain ridge constitutes the sole obstacle for the circumpolar west wind zone of the southern hemisphere. Teleconnect...
