Weather over Antarctica is a real challenge to the meteorologist participating in the Indian Scientific Expedition. A permanently manned meteorological observatory equipped with the instruments to monitor weather system exist at the Indian Antarctic station MAITRI and continuous meteorological parameters were recorded during 17th Expedition from Jan.98 to Dec. 98. During the XVII Indian Scientific Expedition, installation of a snow gauge was done for measuring the snow collected during snowfall/bizzard days. In this report data pertaining to surface weather parameters i.e. the atmospheric pressure, temperature, wind direction, wind speed, cloud snowfall, global radiation, surface ozone and vertical distribution of ozone are presented and discussed. a) Daily, seasonal and annual variation of atmospheric pressure, surface air temperature, surface ozone snowfall and clouds. b) The changes in weather parameters with reference to the specific synoptic situations. c) The radiation budget d) Monitoring and archival of information through weather satellites and HF radio broadcasts regarding weather system affecting the Indian station Maitri. e) Atmospheric turbidity in Antarctica f) Balloon borne measurement of the vertical profile of ozone over Maitri to study the nature of ozone hole over Antarctica. completed principalInvestigator National Centre for Polar and Ocean Research (NCPOR) 8322525515 voice Headland Sada, Vasco da Gama, Goa 403804 Vasco-da-Gama Goa 403804 IND ictd@ncpor.res.in Dr. B N Vishnoi climatologyMeteorologyAtmosphere 20.0 140.0 -90.0 30.0 1997-01-01 1998-12-31 Earth Science-Climate Indicators Theme Maitri Antarctic Place Meteorological amp Climatological Studies at Maitri Project eng TableDigital unknown unknown unknown distributor National Centre for Polar and Ocean Research (NCPOR) +91-832-2525515 voice Headland Sada, Vasco da Gama, Goa 403804 Vasco-da-Gama Goa 403804 IND vssamy@ncpor.res.in Mr. Sakthivel Samy V http://data.ncaor.gov.in/newhtml
