Abstract

The article discusses the meteorological conditions in Antarctica. It notes that in 2008, a strong warming along the Antarctica Peninsula and West Antarctica was observed. A reduction in sea-ice concentration in Amundsen/Bellingshausen Seas and in the region's surface pressure was also observed. It adds that extent of snowmelt on the Antarctica ice sheet in 2008 has also decreased. Observations on the atmospheric circulation and ozone layer depletion in Antarctica are also offered.
