In the interior of the Antarctic ice sheet the surface temperature inversion averages over 25Β°C in the winter months. The negative buoyancy of the near-surface air drives the katabatic windflow, which has important consequences for the climate of Antarctica. Radiosonde measurements of the inversion
## Abstract Some recent observations together with data from earlier expeditions (Court 1942, Schumacher 1955 and others) suggest that the annual variation of temperature in the stratosphere over the Antarctic is characteristically asymmetric with a steep rise of temperature in the spring. This is
