Abstract: reconstruction of Antarctic monthly mean near-surface temperatures spanning 1958?2012 is presented. Its primary goal is to take advantage of a recently revised key temperature record from West Antarctica (Byrd) to shed ...

Abstract: High-resolution numerical weather forecasts from the Antarctic Mesoscale Prediction System (AMPS) archive are used to investigate the climate of West Antarctica (WA) during 2006?07. A comparison with observations from West ...

Abstract: his study evaluates the temporal variability of the Antarctic surface mass balance, approximated as precipitation minus evaporation (P ? E), and Southern Ocean precipitation in five global reanalyses during 1989?2009. The ...

Abstract: AbstractThis study presents a new monthly pressure dataset poleward of 60°S, from 1957 to 2016, based on a kriging interpolation from observed pressure anomalies across the Antarctic continent. Overall, the reconstruction ...

Abstract: Understanding the drivers of surface melting in West Antarctica is crucial for understanding future ice loss and global sea level rise. This study identifies atmospheric drivers of surface melt on West Antarctic ice shelves ...
