12 PM and 3 PM have been eliminated from the animated loop. There was a glitch last week at those times so it must be under repair.
With the northern traverse of the sun, the ice continent is cooling down quickly. Winds are picking up (click on). It would seem the winds are blasting in over East Antarctica driving the heat off the ice all the way to the Peninsula. As a result, the jet stream (click on) is impacted primarily offshore. Basically, as the higher heat is pushed off the ice cap there is turbulence over the ocean currents where there is more stable air. Vortices are more than likely the result.
The temperatures (click on) are demonstrating to take a severe turn toward frigid with the sudden movement of hot air off the ice. The coldest place today is Casey Airbase with a temperature of -84 C, while the nearest second is Vostok -62 C with humidity of 40%. The temperate areas are a few more in number, but, they are primarily freezing in their temperate nature. The warmest is Palmer Station at 2 C with 80% humidity.
This is moving into autumn and that is promising. Hopefully, the winter will prove to be very cold and 'ice forming' with lots of recharge.
