Spatial / temporal features of antarctic climate change1

Based on January 1962–October 1993 mean value series of monthly mean temperature anomalies of 16 Antarctic stations on 10 standard isobaric surfaces from the surface to the 30 hPa, long term trends and periodic features of climate changes from the troposphere to the lower stratosphere over the Antarctic region are investigated by maximum entropy power spectrum analysis, and the relation between climate change of the stratosphere (troposphere) and total ozone (southern 500 hPa circulation) is discussed. This work is supported by the research item on the Theory and Method of Long Range Weather Forecasts.
