Abstract

The Pressure deviations from the monthly average and the 12‐hourly and 36‐hourly pressure variations at Cape Denison show a better correlation with those occurring earlier than with those which occur later at the eastern station Cape Evans than at the western station Cape Denison. This result corroborates Simpson's conception of antarctic pressure waves. Comparison of 12‐hourly and 36‐hourly pressure variations at Cape Denison with those at Queen Mary Land further west gives a less conclusive indication of a westward propagation of pressure waves on the border of the Antarctic continent south of the Indian Ocean.
