Meteorological Observations and Ozone Hole Investigation During 2000 at Indian Antarctic Station, Maitri.

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

Brief Description (Abstract):

India Meteorological Department (IMD) has been participating in Indian Antarctic Expeditions since the first expedition. During the year 2000, climatological data at Maitri, has been analyzed and the results are discussed along with the significant weather phenomenon. Ozone sonde ascents were taken once a week and the ozone concentration and atmospheric temperature were also measured. Ozone depletion in the stratosphere during Antarctic spring months, its recovery and stratospheric warning are discussed. Radiometer sonde ascents were released in the winter period to study the net radiation balance. Global and diffused radiation has also been measured and discussed.

Status: Completed

Purpose: (a) The daily, seasonal and annual variations of atmospheric pressure, surface wind, surface air temperature and cloud. (b) The radiation budget studies Diffuse radiation observation inaddition to direct solar radiation observations as well as radiometersonde (RMS) ascents. (c) Balloon borne measurements of ozone for its vertical profile over Maitri, for the study of the occurrence of ozone hole over Antarctica during Antarctic spring months. In addition surface ozone measurements are to be made throughout the year at Maitri. (d) Monitoring weather systems affecting the Antarctic continent using the Polar satellite pictures and the analyzed weather charts, transmitted from Cape Town, South Africa. (e) Measurement of atmospheric turbidity in Antarctica. (f) Study of total ozone, D-UV, S02 and N02 using Brewer Spectrophotometer.
