The current work forms part of the CLIMATE programme lead by Dr John King within the BAS Polar Science for Planet Earth science strategy. Previous campaigns were part of the the FOCAS project within the Antarctic Climate and Earth System programme.

 

During each campaign we update a basic diary which can be viewed from the links above. There is also access to graphs of the data.
