It is almost completely covered by ice. Inspite of these inhospitable conditions, it is attracting world wide attention because of its strong influence on weather, the global heat balance and its hidden economic potential. In this an analysis of different weather systems encountered and experienced during the passage and stay at Antarctica of the XIII Antarctica expedition. The expedition team sailed from Marmagao onboard M V Stepan Krashanennikov on 08 Dec 93. The team included two Meteorological scientists from India Met Dept and one Meteorological and Oceanographic Officer from the Indian Navy. The summer of 1993 - 94 had one of the severest blizzards during Feb 94 which damaged the ship's rudder control system. This led to an unavoidable extended stay at Antarctica. 1. Study synoptic systems that affect weather over Antarctica by collecting information from the met. data network. 2. Collect and record synoptic weather observations during the passage to and from Antarctica. 3. Collect ship / surface meteorological observations during the stay at Antarctica. 4. Provide weather briefings and forecasts for ships routing. 5. Provide general weather and aviation forecasts during the expedition. 6. Receive and interpret cloud imageries from NOAA satellites for the purpose of planning and execution of expedition activities. 7. Collect Oceanographic observations during the passage to and from Antarctica. 8. Study the movement of water masses, their origin and sea ice conditions.
