Antarctic Operational Weather Forecasting

Pages : 80
Book Description
The United States Antarctic Program (USAP) has maintained three year-round research stations on Antarctica since the 1950's. Research conducted on the continent has taken advantage of the unique conditions afforded by Antarctica's location and climate; unfortunately, these characteristics have also required an immense logistics operation by the USAP to support its researchers. Operation Deep Freeze, the airlift portion of this endeavor, is supported by units of the U.S. Air Force Reserve and Air National Guard. Flights to and around the continent require accurate operational weather forecasts to minimize the threat posed by Antarctica's harsh, highly variable weather. This paper reviews literature on significant Antarctic weather features, primarily katabatic winds and mesocyclones, around McMurdo Station, the hub of USAP aviation activities. It then describes the analysis and forecasting tools, specifically, Automatic Weather Stations, space-based remote sensing, and numerical weather prediction, used by USAP forecasters to create their weather forecasts. Problems with these tools and required improvements, including the Ross Island Meteorological Experiment, are also highlighted.

comprehensively up to date. We are most grateful to these authors and to those we recruited to write the additional chapters necessary to fill the significant gaps. We acknowledge also the sacrifice of some who presented results of original research and have thus suffered a longer time than usual to publication. The timing of publication however has provided the opportunity to highlight recent discussions and resolutions made within the Antarctic Treaty forum to protect wildlife against disease and to include responses by Government and non-Government operators in Antarctica. These developments mostly followed from the Workshop on Diseases of Antarctic Wildlife. The book comprises 17 chapters presented in two parts. Wildlife disease consists of reviews, case studies and health assessments, and External factors covers the environmental, administrative and legal aspects. Each chapter is complete and c- tains all references. Six important documents are provided as Appendices. These present methods, reviews and other documents which are referred to in one or more chapters but are not readily available. There are many related topics we have been unable to cover that would enhance the understanding of health and disease processes in Antarctica. While we ackno- edge their importance they are outside the scope of the present volume. Such topics include epidemiology, new and emerging infectious diseases and the effects of climate change. These topics are referred to in the various chapters where ref- ences to source material are given.
