COLD REGIONS SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING PART 1: CLIMATOLOGY OF THE COLD REGIONS SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE.

Abstract

The monograph summarizes the climatology of the cold regions of the Southern Hemisphere which consist almost entirely of the Antarctic Continent. Comparisons with the northern cold regions are followed by a systematic treatment of general circulation, the energy budget, and meteorological elements forming the climate of the region. Thirty-two illustrations (many of several parts) and ten tables give climatological data, and a selected bibliography of 281 items provides complete coverage for further details. (Author)
