Extract from http://www.scar.org/researchgroups/physicalscience/reader_turneretal.pdf
'On the eastern side of the peninsula there
are very few occupied stations, but the disintegration of the northern part of the Larsen Ice Shelf implies
major climate changes are also taking place in this area. Although the temperature rise at Faraday/Vernadsky
has been substantial, there are indications (King and Comiso, 2003) that the region of marked warming is quite limited and is restricted to an arc from the southwestern part of the peninsula, through Faraday to a
little beyond the tip of the peninsula.'
The article describes the climate for the entire ANTARCTIC CLIMATE CHANGE. It also highlights the selective combiming of date to a mean avareage that does not fully indicate that whilst changes may be occuring on 'one side' of the continent the other side is showing increases in snow. ice and sea ice???
the full article is well worth a read imo.
