South Pole Satellite
Indeed, the very 'southern shore' I thought was experiencing a vortex arrival is noted to have 'exactly' that occurring.

Surface Winds
On animation (click here) the surface winds of Antarctica show a lot of turbulence. As a matter of fact the southern shore is so turbulent in it's 'center' one can easily discern an arrival of a vortex.

Antarctica Jet Stream
On animation (click here) it is easy to see there are huge movements of the normally inertia stricken air masse over Antarctica including Vostok. So what is happening to ice that is exposed to 'still' very cold air? Sublimination. A forty degree increase at Vostok shows the change in temperature because the frigid ice masse, once exposed to heat, maintains a cold air masse because the ice is sublimed into vapor to cool the heat.

Antarctica
The vortices have arrived back to Antarctica along with direct sunlight from Sol.
The warmest temperatures on the ice continent are rising as 'notedly' the pressure is falling indicating the arrival of low pressure systems that also carry heat.

Whatever happened to our very frigid Russian reporting station? On July 17, 2007 the temperature in Vostok was Temperature :: -101 °F / -74 °C. That is nearly a forty degree increase of temperature in the coldest place on Earth. Like. What?

Clean Air, Antarctica (NOAA reporting station, click here)
For some reason the NOAA reporting is absent although the 'computer link' at the Weather Underground still has a reporting but it appears with Amundsen-Scott data (click here). That was not the case two weeks ago. More than likely someone in DC is playing with the reporting of the USA stations andthat would not be new. The Carbon Dioxide daily 'raw data' monitors from the Mauna Loa Observatories have been taken off line a while ago. The 'reality' is too much for the Bush White House to endure as witnessed by the public and their advocates.
