The Indian Antarctic program, a multi-disciplinary and multi-institutional program initiated in 1981 with the first expedition to Antarctica, has been instrumental in advancing our understanding of Antarctic meteorology and its global climate implications. This study focuses on the latest meteorological characteristics of newly established research base Bharati aiming to unravel the climate dynamics of Bharati station in East Antarctica. The meteorological data for the period December 2014 to December 2022 have been analysed in present study. We observed the highest maximum temperature of 9.9 °C on January 5, 2018, and the lowest minimum temperature of −40.3 °C on September 6, 2016. The monthly mean temperature exhibits pronounced seasonal variation, with a summer maximum of approximately 0 °C in December and January, and a winter minimum of about −19 °C from May to September. While the eight-year observations are not sufficient for studying long-term trends, we identify a slight increasing tendency in temperature at Bharati. In addition to temperature, we examined the characteristics of pressure, relative humidity, precipitation, wind, and blizzards. The analysis reveals a negative correlation between the Southern Annular Mode (SAM) and temperature and pressure at Bharati. Station experiences predominantly easterly and northeasterly winds. The upper air data were obtained using radiosonde and ozonesonde ascents, enhancing our understanding of the atmospheric conditions in the region. These results provide important knowledge about the weather in Bharati and how it relates to the Southern Annular Mode. Understanding this helps us comprehend how East Antarctica weather influences global climate patterns.

东南极洲新建巴拉蒂站气象特征及南环模影响评估

印度南极计划是一个多学科、多机构的计划,于 1981 年随着首次南极洲考察而启动,在增进我们对南极气象学及其全球气候影响的理解方面发挥了重要作用。本研究重点关注新建立的巴拉蒂研究基地的最新气象特征,旨在揭示东南极洲巴拉蒂站的气候动态。本研究对2014年12月至2022年12月期间的气象数据进行了分析。2018年1月5日观测到最高气温9.9℃,2016年9月6日观测到最低气温-40.3℃。月平均气温季节变化明显,夏季最高气温约0℃ 12 月和 1 月,冬季最低温度约为 -19 °C,5 月至 9 月。虽然八年的观测不足以研究长期趋势,但我们发现巴拉蒂的气温有轻微上升的趋势。除了温度之外,我们还检查了压力、相对湿度、降水、风和暴风雪的特征。分析揭示了巴拉蒂南环模 (SAM) 与温度和压力之间的负相关性。车站主要吹东风和东北风。高空数据是通过无线电探空仪和臭氧探空仪上升获得的,增强了我们对该地区大气状况的了解。这些结果提供了有关巴拉蒂天气及其与南环模的关系的重要知识。了解这一点有助于我们理解东南极洲天气如何影响全球气候模式。
