Abstract

Long-term changes of thermal and wind regime and mean annual pressure in area of Antarctica and connection of these changes with circulation at antarctic region are considered. The contrary trend of wind speed at stations situated on the coast of Atlantic Ocean and Indian Ocean coast is found. Influence of the katabatic winds on decrease of wind speed at stations Mirny and Dumont-d’Urville is discussed.
