Brief Description (Abstract):

Meteorological Programme of IMD in Antarctica and its implementation during summer are explained. Based on the observations undertaken during onward and return voyages of Fourteenth Indian Antarctic Expedition and at Maitri during Jan and Feb'95 latitudinal variation of meteorological parameters; summary of weather at Maitri; Comparison of extreme values of meteorological parameters; Ozone data and comparison with Syowa values and services being provided by IMD for the activities of the Expedition are discussed. Highest maximum air temperatures at Maitri are reaching positive values in January at Maitri every year and temperatures falling in February. Occurrence of drifting/blowing snow is not frequent at Maitri during January and February months. Maitri and Syowa ozonesonde ascent values are tallying and comparable.

Status: Completed

Purpose: India Meteorological Department is having a longterm scientific programme and implementing it continuously in all summer and winter components of Indian Antarctic expeditions starting from first expedition. The aim of this meteorological programme is to study and understand Antarctic weather in general and its relations to global weather systems with special emphasis on weather systems which influence Indian sub-continent like southwest monsoon.India Meteorological Department is also showing keen interest on the recent thoughts of concern like ozone depletion over Antarctica and continuing its ozone monitoring programme by releasing ozonesondes.
