Access URI: http://data.ncaor.gov.in/newhtml

Brief Description (Abstract):

Meteorological studies conducted at Maitri during 1994 are discussed in brief. August was the coldest month with lowest monthly mean air temperature -26.0 Deg C and extreme lowest air temperature -29.1 Deg C of the year. The occurrence of maximum and minimum pressure are having a clear tendency. Strongest wind of 65 knots gusting to about 80 kts was recorded during August. Cloud, precipitation, Aurora global solar radiation and net terrestrial radiation are also discussed in brief.

Status: Completed

Purpose: Meteorological programme of Thirteenth Antarctic Expedition was mainly the continuation of the long term programme of IMD introduced in earlier expeditions to enable the collection of surface and upper air observations for preparing the climatology of the area and to study the inter annual and inter seasonal variations of the weather over Antarctica and also their relationships with the Indian weather radiation observations with surface based and balloon borne instruments for estimating the radiation budget measurements of vertical profiles of ozone as part of an international programme for the investigation of ozone-hole occurrence over Antarctica during the spring alongwith atmospheric turbidity measurements the reception of cloud imageries from the polar orbiting weather satellites and radio facsimile weather charts broadcast by the forecasting offices in the region as part of the weather services for logistic and scientific programmes of the expedition.
