It's been a while, eh? Antarctic winter will officially be over next Wednesday, September 22, while we in the Northern Hemisphere will experience autumnal equinox -- the first day of fall. The sun will rise at the South Pole for the first time since mid-March. And let me tell you, the staff will be happy to see it!My latest Antarctica article, Observing Weather at the Bottom of the World: The South Pole, covers the "why behind the Antarctic sky" and takes a look at how meteorologists monitor weather in such a remote and extreme location. It was published last week in the Sept/Oct issue of Weatherwise magazine. This article was particularly fun to write: I got to geek out about weather for 5,000 words straight! The Antarctic atmosphere is amazing. Take a look for yourself and post any questions or comments you have below.
Cheers,
Ann
