Interannual trends in the Southern Ocean sea surface temperature and sea level from remote sensing dataS. A. Lebedev1, 2 1Geophysical Center, Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow, Russia2State Oceanographic Institute, Moscow, Russia Abstract
[1] As it was shown recently, climate changes in Antarctica resulted in interannual
trends of some climatic parameters like sea level atmospheric pressure, surface air
temperature, ice thickness and others. These tendencies have effect on the Southern
Ocean meteorological and hydrological regime. The following remote sensing data:
AVHRR MCSST data, satellite altimetry data (merged data of mission ERS-2,
TOPEX/Poseidon, Jason-1, ENVISAT, GFO-1) are used to analyze the interannual
and/or climatic tendency of sea surface temperature (SST) and sea level anomaly
(SLA). According to the obtained results, SST has positive trend 0.01
