Brief Description (Abstract):

India Meteorological Department has an ongoing meteorological programme in the Antarctic Expeditions. During the XVIII Indian Scientific Antarctic Expedition installation of Brewer Spectrophotometer, for measurement of Total atmospheric Ozone, Sulphur dioxide and Nitrogen dioxide, Damaging Ultraviolet radiation, to supplement the ozonesonde programme for the study of Ozone hole phenomena was undertaken in the year 1999. In addition to total Ozone, D U V, S 0 2, NO2 measurements using Brewer Spectrophotometer, Atmospheric Ozone profile by Ozonesonde, Meteorological and Climatological features observed during the year 1999 has been discussed.

Status: Completed

Purpose: The India Meteorological Department has been continuously participating in all Indian Scientific Antarctic Expeditions from the beginning. This is an ongoing Programme of recording and analysing the meteorological data. N e w members continue to collect and record the different meteorological data during their stay at Indian Antarctic Station Maitri located in Schirmacher Oasis Antarctica. During the 18th expedition a new Programme was included i.e. the installation of Brewer Spectrophotometer for measuring Total Atmospheric Ozone, Sulphur dioxide, Nitrogen dioxide and Damaging Ultraviolet-B Radiation. This Programme will be continued in future with the other meteorological parameter. Standard equipment and techniques approved as of world standard by World Meteorological Organization is being used for the data collection. The synoptic weather data generated is also transmitted over global telecommunication network on real time basis for the use of weather forecasting world over.
