Abstract:

Chinese Antarctic Great Wall Station(GW) and Zhongshan Station(ZS) have been set up for 25 and 20 years respectively. The variations and trends of monthly, seasonal and annual mean air temperature for both stations are presented by surface meteorological observation data. The warming rate of annual mean temperature is 0.27 ℃/10 a and 0.12 ℃/10 a respectively for GW and ZS. The trend of GW is relatively similar with the rate 0.33 ℃/10 a of Bellingshausen station about 3km away from GW. It means that the warm...
