With this aim the meteorological programme of the 15th Antarctic expedition was planned and carried out by the I.M.D.- team. Meteorological data of different meteorological parameters such as temperature, pressure, wind speed and direction, total global solar radiation and surface ozone was continuously recorded throughout the year with the help of autographic recorders. Three hourly synoptic observations were recorded and real-time transmission of main synoptic messages were made on GTS (4 times a day) for use of the forecasters all over the world. Lowest minimum temperature -30.1 ?C (in May), highest maximum temperature 12.2?C (in January), highest pressure 1014.0 hpa, lowest pressure 951.5 hpa, wind speed 68 kts, gasting to 112 kts, no. of blizzards 45. With a view to study the effects of Antarctic climate especially over the Indian monsoon, India Meteorological Department is continuously participating in the Indian scientific expeditions to Antarctica. Daily synoptic observations recorded at Indian Antarctic Station, Maitri, enter into the global data network which contributes to the international effects for weather forecasting. Time series analysis of multi-year weather records from Antarctic stations gives us valuable clues for long range forecasts of monsoon. 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. A S Rasal climatologyMeteorologyAtmosphere 20.0 140.0 -90.0 30.0 1995-01-01 1996-12-31 Earth Science-Atmosphere Theme Maitri Antarctic Place Meteorological Studis Carried Out During The 15th Indian Scientific Expedition to Antarctica 1996 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
