Final Report Abstract

The general objective of this project was to improve the understanding of the key physical processes in the Antarctic which control the regional circulation patterns and climate conditions and have the potential of global implications and consequences. The project combined the three work packages: 1. Regional model simulations 2. Remote sensing of total water vapour and atmospheric temperature with satellites 3. Comparison of total water vapour from model simulations and remote sensing data
