Meteorological Programme During the Summer Period of Twentieth Indian Antarctic Expedition.

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

Brief Description (Abstract):

The Antarctic continent plays a vital role in shaping the global climate and will apparently influence the future global climatic change. Monitoring the Antarctic weather parameters continuously is very important. In these attempts to highlight the weather parameters observed during Austral Summer of 2001. Based on the observations during both onward & return journeys and at Maitri, latitudinal variation of meteorological parameters, synoptic systems, summary of weather at Maitri is discussed. UV-B radiation, total ozone, N02 and SO, concentrations in the atmosphere and vertical profiles of ozone concentration and temperature studied during the expedition are also reflected.

Status: Completed

Purpose: (a) The daily, seasonal and annual variations of atmospheric pressure, surface wind, air temperature and cloud cover. (b) Study of the radiation budget. (c) Balloon borne measurements of ozone for its vertical profile over Maitri, Antarctica for the study of ozone hole phenomena over Antarctica during spring months. (d) Measurement of total ozone concentration, D-UV or UV-B radiation, N02 and S02 Concentrations in the atmosphere using Brewer spectrophotometer. (e) Atmospheric turbidity in Antarctica. (f) Monitoring and archival of information through weather satellites and HF radio sets regarding weather systems affecting the Antarctic continent.
