Based on the observations undertaken during onward voyage of 13th Indian Antarctic Expedition and at Maitri during Jan and Feb'94, latitudinal variation of meteorological parameters; summary of weather at Maitri; comparison of January ozonesonde ascents of Maitri with Syowa ozonesonde ascents and services being provided by IMD for the activities of the Expedition are discussed. Highest maximum air temperatures at Maitri are reaching positive values in January and temperatures falling in February. Occurrence of drifting/blowing snow is not frequent at Maitri during January and February months. Maitri and Syowa ozonesonde ascent values are tallying and comparable. India Meteorological Department is implementing its programmes continuously in all summer and winter components of Indian Antarctic expeditions starting from first expedition. The aim of meteorological programme is to study and understand antarctic weather and climate and their relations to global weather systems with special emphasis on weather systems which influence Indian sub continent like southwest monsoon. India Meteorological Dept is also showing keen interest on the recent thoughts of concern like ozone depletion over Antarctica. In addition to the main programme at Maitri. IMD is also having programme during both outward and return voyages.
