The Tiksi International Hydrometeorological Observatory - An Arctic members Partnership
The global community has recognized over the last few years the importance of the weather and climate of the Earth’s Polar Regions.Particularly sensitive to human activities, the Polar Regions have also demonstrated the potential for impacting reciprocally on the livability of the more heavily populated lower and mid-latitudes. In response, the WMO Polar Observations, Research and Services (PORS) was developed to “…promote and coordinate relevant programmes that are carried out in the Antarctic and Arctic regions by nations and by groups of nations.” The Polar Activities resolution of the WMO ...

International Polar Year (IPY). Understanding Earth's Polar challenges : International Polar Year 2007-2008 - summary by the IPY Joint Committee
The International Polar Year (IPY) 2007–2008, co-sponsored by ICSU and WMO, became the largest coordinated research program in the Earth’s polar regions, following in the footsteps of its predecessor, the first and second International Polar Years in 1881-1883 and 1932-1933 and the International Geophysical Year 1957–1958.
An estimated 50,000 researchers, local observers, educators, students, and support personnel from more than 60 nations were involved in the 228 international IPY projects (170 in science, 1 in data management, and 57 in education and outreach) and related national eff ...

Meridional distribution and seasonal variation of stable oxygen isotope ratio of precipitation in the Southern Ocean
Antarctic Record, Vol. 54, No. 2. Nakamura Kayo; Shigeru Aoki; Takenobu Toyota - Scholarly and Academic Information Navigator (CiNii), 2010The stable oxygen isotope ratio(δ^<18>O) in precipitation is known to have important meridional and seasonal variations, but there are almost no measurements of δ^<18>O in precipitation over polar oceans. The present research took advantage of 4 opportunities for in situ observations in summer and winter at high latitudes in the Southern Ocean. In addition, we analyzed samples of precipitation at Syowa Station in 2008 to obtain year-round data. Based on these data, we consider the meridional and seasonal variations of δ^<18>O in precipitation over the Southern Ocean. In general, δ^<18>O decrea ...

Report on the activities of the wintering party of the 49th Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition in 2008-2009
Antarctic Record, Vol. 54, No. 2. Ushio Shuki - Scholarly and Academic Information Navigator (CiNii), 2010The wintering party of the 49th Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition (JARE-49), consisting of 29 members, was conducted as the second year of the 7th four-year plan of JARE and the second half of the International Polar Year 2007-2008 (IPY2007-2008) at Syowa Station and its surrounding areas. JARE-49 took over management of the station facilities and functions from JARE-48 on February 1, 2008, and performed scientific observations and logistic duties. Though it was a little smaller in terms of number of wintering personnel than previous teams, it was well prepared to perform station manageme ...

Has the Drake Passage Played an Essential Role in the Cenozoic Cooling?
Atmospheric and Oceanic Science Letters, Volume 3 Number 5. Zhang Zi-Yin; Gong Zhong-Shi; Yan Qing; et al. - Science Press, 2010The Drake Passage is the seaway between South America and Antarctica. It is widely believed that the thermal isolation effects caused by the opening of the Drake Passage played an important role in the abrupt cooling that occurred at the Eocene-Oligocene boundary in the Cenozoic. These effects are also thought to be independent of the geometry of the passage. Here, the authors demonstrate that the climate impacts of the Drake Passage depend on the passage geometry by comparing the climate’s sensitivity to the opening of the Drake Passage under the present and the Early Eocene land-sea configur ...

Clôture de la 4e année polaire internationale : colloque des 14 et 15 mai 2009
La 4e année polaire internationale, qui s'était ouverte au Sénat le 1er mars 2007, vient de s'achever. Elle a permis, en faveur des pôles Nord et Sud, une mobilisation sans précédent de notre planète, aussi bien en termes scientifiques que politiques.
La 3e année polaire internationale de 1957-1958 a laissé un legs très important : lancement de la mesure continue de la concentration du CO2 dans l'atmosphère, construction des premières bases permanentes en Antarctique et conclusion, en 1959, du Traité de Washington faisant de ce continent un lieu international réservé à la science et à l ...
Antarctica: Challenging Forecasts for a Challenging Environment
Antarctica: Challenging Forecasts for a Challenging Environment features two educational pieces.

Cryosphere theme report. For the monitoring of our environment from Space and from Earth : an international partnership for cooperation in Earth observations
World Meteorological Organization (WMO) ; United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO); Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC); et al. - IGOS, 2007This report aims to initiate a process that will ultimately result in a more comprehensive, coordinated, and integrated cryospheric observing system. The report starts with an Executive Summary that includes major recommendations. Chapters 1 and 2 define the cryosphere and the major applications of cryospheric data. Chapters 3-10 describe our current capabilities and requirements for observing essential climate variables (ECVs) in the major domains of the cryosphere. Each of these chapters contains domain-specific recommendations. Chapter 11 reviews the cryospheric observing system by observat ...

GORMP, 49. An Overview of the 2005 Antartic Ozone Hole
This report contains a collection of all the eight WMO Antarctic Ozone Bulletins that were issued over the course of the 2005 ozone hole season. These Bulletins are based on data from the ground, from balloons and from satellites. Many stations and institutions have put efforts into providing data in near real time. Without such timely delivery of data it would not have been possible to produce the Bulletins. Acknowledgements are found in each of the Bulletins.

IPCC Special Report. The Regional Impacts of Climate Change: An Assessment of Vulnerability : summary for Policymakers
The Special Report explores the potential consequences of changes in climate for ten continental- or subcontinentalscale regions. Because of the uncertainties associated with
regional projections of climate change, the report necessarily takes the approach of assessing sensitivities and vulnerabilities of each region, rather than attempting to provide quantitative predictions of the impacts of climate change. As in the SAR, “vulnerability” is the extent to which climate change may damage or harm a system; it is a function of both sensitivity to climate and the ability to adapt to new co ...
Rapport spécial du GIEC. Incidences de l'évolution du climat dans les régions: Evaluation de la vulnérabilité : résumé à l'intention des décideurs
Organisation météorologique mondiale (OMM); Zinyowera Marufu C.; Moss Richard H.; et al. - GIEC, 1997Le présent rapport examine les conséquences éventuelles de l'évolution du climat dans dix régions continentales et sous-continentales. Les incertitudes entourant les prévisions régionales des changements climatiques ont contraint les auteurs à évaluer la sensibilité et
la vulnérabilité de chaque région, plutôt que de tenter de chiffrer les incidences prévues. Comme dans le SAR, la vulnérabilité définit la mesure dans laquelle l'évolution du climat risque d'endommager un système quelconque ou de lui nuire; elle est fonction de sa sensibilité au climat et de sa capacité à s'adapter à de n ...
