A preliminary regional dynamic climatology of the Antarctic continent

Abstract: The present work attempts to give a preliminary basis for a regional dynamic climatology of Antarctica, despite the limitations existing as a result of the shortness of the observation period and the small number of observation stations. First, a basic differentiation is made between the climate of the high East Antarctic plateau and that of the coastal areas; the climate of the lower West Antarctic plateau, although showing transitional character, nevertheless belongs to a higher degree to the climate of the coastal areas. Beyond this basic dichotomy, well-defined climatic regions are identified within the area with coastal climates. The distinct regional climate characteristics are mainly a result of the perturbation element. Numerous perturbations occur in the mid-latitudes, spiraling into the interior of the continent. They are directed, mainly by anticyclonic blocking, toward favored areas, strongly affecting climatically both stretches of the coastal fringe and the lower west.... https://www.erdkunde.uni-bonn.de/article/view/1379
