Abstract

The analysis of meteorological data obtained from the installed Automatic Weather Station (AWS) at Jinnah Station (70.24°S, 25.45°E), East Antarctica is presented. This paper describes the meteorological conditions of Jinnah Station for the years of 1991 and 1993. Due to some technical problems the data could not be received continuously in the year 1992. The significant temperature difference is found between the warmest and the coldest months. Climate shows the moderating effect of ocean. Low pressure and strong wind are common which represents the location of the station lies in the circum-polar low pressure belt. The prevailing wind direction for all over the year is ESE.
