Antarctica Surface Winds
The surface winds are mostly diminished. The stronger winds are primarily over East Antarctica and they are on shore winds. The Peninsula is experiencing higher velocity winds which would cause movement of the sea ice and could explain the reason the MV Explorer experienced a breach to it's hull. The sea ice/icebergs have been noted in pictures from the Penguin Cams from Scott Base to have higher velocity.

Antarctica Jet Stream (animated click here)
Here is the beauty of it. The upper trospheric jet stream is homogenizing the air masse over Antarctica and that why the elevated temperatures even over the Blue Ice and the frigid air masse is gone. Sublimation of ice.
As the arriving vortices 'match' the air quality, air temperature and moisture, there will be less turbulence and not more. There will be less disturbance of the air masse because it won't be a matter of rising or sinking (heavy frigid air) as it will all be homogenized into the same state. The equatorial orgin vortices will simply 'settle in' as a feeder system to the instability. The sun is still moving south. We remain vigilant.

Western Hemisphere.
Every satellite shows heat transfer from the equator to Antarctica. It's a darn shame. And the Religious Right of the USA defines it's 'morality' as Pro-Life? Where? They are nothing but a bunch of 'freakin' nut cases willing to die in glory. And the West states Jihadists are dangerous. What's the difference? Money and the extent they can cause 'immediate' death and destruction globally. That is the only difference between the two extremes.

Africa-Europe Satellite
I have to laugh when I read articles regarding alternative sources of energies and it states, "...they have flaws." There is a huge set of flaws that oil, gas and coal have; Human Induced Global Warming, Human Deaths due to Climate Change, Species Demise and collapsing First World Economies. See, the Third World relies on the First World economies to assist their very survival. When the First World Economies vaporize, as they will, with disappearing oil supplies so will the ability to support the Third World. The oddity is that The Third World is now seeing increased value to their oil and can support themselves and dangle the future of The First World right in front of their face.
Amazing.

West Pacific Satellite
Every satellite shows the same thing; a huge movement of heat from the Equator to Antarctica. This satellite shows two consecutive cyclones/hurricanes approaching Asia. They are both Cat 2 cyclones. Asia's shoreline needs to be evacuated and stay that way. The thing is, these countries rely on fishing to produce food for their populous. That is not possible and relief efforts need to take shape to address the continued battering of these people and their food source.

Antarctica Temperature Satellite
The warmest reporting stations:
Base Esperanza, Antarctica
12:00 PM GMT
Elevation :: 43 ft / 13 m

I sorta expect ANY PLACE in Antarctica to be colder than that of the continental, temperate USA. Don't you? I would hope so.)
