The heat transfer vortexes are chronic and the overall 'chill' on the ice continent is reduced.(24 hour loop with 12A, 12P, 3P, 9P views missing)

When considering the dynamics of the map of Antarctica and it's surface winds, the length of the arrows indicate the velocity of the winds. In this animation of the surface winds this week, it is noted the majority of arrows are consistently the same length. That is grossly unusual for Antarctica and it is in response to the fact the heating is chronic and being delivered at a consistent and CHRONIC rate.

The repeated arrival of heat transfer vortexes is noted in the week's time loop. They also are evident in this image as well, but, over time it is noted not to change in it's dynamics at the beginning of spring.
