Antarctica Jet Stream Satellite (click here for 7 day animation)
There it is. The heavier frigid mass from the top Blue Ice has been moved off to lower altitudes and over the Eastern Plateau. The incoming heat transfer at 4 o'clock reveals the placement of the satellite showing the displacement. Which such drastic displacement off the Blue Ice it would throw the dynamics of the entire continent into chaos. The air is more dense and heavier and would reveal the transcendence of turbulence through the air column to reveal the high turbulence at the surface.
When the past seven days are revealed the primary incident occurred clearly on November 6, 2007 at 0600 gmt and November 7, 2007 is more of the same with hopefully a gradual return of inertia to the jet stream in 48 hours. Unless, there is another incident, which there probably will be, and the sublimination of Antarctica's ice continues to escalate.

Antarctica Wind Surface Satellite (click here for loop)
This satellite tells the tale. There is surface movement from the top Blue Ice of the East Antarctica plateau met with on shore winds which would illustrate clearly the displacement maintained in the satellite below. There is however high turbulence in the surface winds in the animated map, but, that is also illustrated in the high altitude Jet Stream.

North Pole Satellite.
The displaced frigid mass is at 6 o'clock in this image with an arriving heat transfer at 10 o'clock. Let me see if the jet stream and surface winds show this mess.

Antarctica
The highest heat is 2 C, above freezing. It doesn't matter if it's 2 degrees over zero or 50 degrees above zero. Hot is hot and the ice is melting. I don't care if this is spring in Antarctica, this is all new. The heat normally shows up and maintains seasonally on the Peninsula. The sea ice is compromised more so this year. The heat in this satellite image extends from the Berkner Island to New Schwabenland to end at Enderby Land.
The satellite is absent of 12 PM and 9 PM maps. 3 AM is the worst picture. There is an absence of the Blue Ice in that image and it shows a consistently warm Antarctica. That image also illustrates a Peninsula above zero when no other image does. There is additonal satellite that shows a displaced frigid mass. I'll place it above the temperature satellite above.
