Study of Meteorological Parameters, Ozone Depletion in Antarctic Spring and Solar Radiation during Ninth Antarctic Expedition.

Access URI: http://data.ncaor.gov.in/newhtml

Brief Description (Abstract):

The Southern polar continent Antarctica, is endowed with unique features such as cold temperatures, strong winds, blizzards and the vast glaciers on the earth. Meteorology is considered paramount because it can foresay the weather conditions in any particular region, The synoptic systems around Antarctica are typically inhospitable and dreadful, unlike elsewhere. Prediction of weather in this region is complicated due to unpredicted movements of upper celestial phenomenal changes. In order to get a better prediction, it is necessary to correlate the data obtained by various meteorological observatories situated in the continent, besides satellite cloud imagery.

Status: Completed

Purpose: (i) Establishing a new Meteorological Observatory at Maitri and monitoring weather conditions by keeping constant watch. (ii) Recording of 3 hourly synoptic observations and disseminating the main 6 hourly synoptic data to IMD, New Delhi for its global exchange programme. (iii) To investigate ozone depletion in the Antarctic spring season over this region. (iv) To monitor the radiation flux in the upper atmosphere. (v) To monitor surface ozone. (vi) To do other activities as were done by the previous expeditions.
