The Southern Hemisphere … Antarctic stratosphere experienced two noteworthy events in 2015: a … significant injection of sulfur from the Calbuco volcanic eruption in Chile … in April, and a record-large Antarctic ozone hole in October and November. Here…

Expanded role for gravity wave parameterization in WACCM 26th International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics (IUGG) Conference, Prague, Czech Republic, 22 June-2 July 2015, 2015 (Ref: 15726)
Category 3: Verbal presentation

The parameterization of gravity waves in the NCAR Whole Atmosphere Community Climate Model (WACCM) includes orographic, convective, and frontal sources. Even with these, the model simulates temperatures in the Antarctic lower stratosphere during winter and spring that are much lower than observed.

The best site on Earth? Proceedings of the 3rd ARENA Conference, EAS Publications Series, 2010 (Ref: 14025)
Category 3: Conference paper

We compare the merits of potential observatory sites on the … Antarctic Plateau, in regard to the boundary layer, cloud cover, free … atmosphere seeing, aurorae, airglow, and precipitable water vapour. We find that (a)…

Where is the best site on Earth? Domes A, B, C and F, and Ridges A and B Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 2009 (Ref: 14012)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

The Antarctic plateau contains the best sites on earth for many forms of astronomy, but … none of the existing bases was selected with astronomy as the primary motivation. In this paper, we try to systematically compare the merits of potential observatory sites. We include South … Pole, Domes A…

Ticks Associated with Macquarie Island Penguins Carry Arboviruses from Four Genera PLoS ONE, 2009 (Ref: 13598)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Macquarie Island, a small subantarctic island, is home to rockhopper, royal and king penguins, which are often infested with the globally distributed seabird tick, Ixodes uriae. A flavivirus, an orbivirus, a phlebovirus, and a nairovirus were isolated from these ticks and partial sequences obtained.
