The aim of this paper is to highlight-their role, a viewpoint, which is required to be developed further. A cursory glance on the general circulation (Fig. 1) in the Southern hemisphere brings out the following- a) The sub-tropical anticyclone belt 30-40?S. b) The zone of strong westerlies in temperate latitudes with strongly varying air pressure decreasing poleward in the mean. c) The polar zone with asymmetric circumpolar vortex (Sub Polar Low) and Continental High. The asymmetry of the polar vortex is a consequence of the asymmetric topography of Antarctica. d) The meridional temperature gradient between the coast of Antarctica and open ocean near the surface is moderate in the summer and large during the rest of the year. The sign of this gradient does not change all through the year. For variety of reasons, the major attention of the synopticians of weather is on the cyclogenesis of the migratory cyclones moving in the sub-polar region.
