Abstract: A record of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration during the transition from the Last Glacial Maximum to the Holocene, obtained from the Dome Concordia, Antarctica, ice core, reveals that an increase of 76 parts per million by volume occurred over a period of 6000 years in four clearly distinguishable intervals. The close correlation between CO2 concentration and Antarctic temperature indicates that the Southern Ocean played an important role in causing the CO2 increase. However, the similarity of changes in CO2 concentration and variations of atmospheric methane concentration suggests that processes in the tropics and in the Northern Hemisphere, where the main sources for methane are located, also had substantial effects on atmospheric CO2 concentrations

Reijmer, C.H.; Oerlemans, J. (2002). Temporal and spatial variability of the surface energy balance in Dronning Maud Land, East Antarctica. J. Geophys. Res., 107.
Abstract: We present data of nine Automatic Weather Stations (AWS), which are located in Dronning Maud Land (DML), East Antarctica, since the austral summer of 1997. Potential temperature and wind speed are maximum at the sites with the steepest surface slope, i.e., at the edge of the Antarctic plateau. Specific humidity and accumulation decrease with elevation and distance from the coast. The annual average energy gain at the surface from the downward sensible heat flux varies between ?3 W m?2 and ?25 W m?2, with the highest values at the sites with the largest surface inclination and wind speeds. The net radiative flux is negative and largely balances this sensible heat flux and ranges from ??2 W m?2 to ??28 W m?2; maximum values can be linked to maxima in surface slope and wind speed, and suggest a strong connection between the heat budget and the katabatic flow in DML. The average latent heat flux is generally small and negative (??1 W m?2) indicating a slight net mass loss through sublimation.
