India Meteorological Department (IMD) has been participating in Indian Antarctic Expeditions (IAE) since (1981). During the year 2007, meteorological data collected over the seas between India and Antarctica and at Maitri, have been analyzed and the results are discussed along with the significant weather phenomenon. Sutron make Automatic Weather Station (AWS) and their transmission antennas were installed at Maitri. The variations in atmospheric pressure, temperature and wind velocity with their influence on different weather systems are discussed. Significant fluctuations in temperature, pressure and wind speed have been noticed in moving weather systems. In addition, some important weather phenomena like blizzard have also been discussed. The weather of Antarctica influences the global weather to a great extent. The study of meteorological parameters over Antarctica and their correlation with Indian weather will help in understanding important weather systems. The unique nature of the Antarctic atmosphere, the uniformity of physical structure of snow surface and frequent weather changes are important for the study of meteorological theories. The 26th IAE started from Goa on January 10, 2007. Meteorological measurements were made on board ship and also at Maitri as one of the objectives of the expedition.
