Modern temperature changes in the Antarctic peninsula

The article presents the results of a study of the thermal regime of the Antarctic Peninsula. The material of the study used monthly averages of surface air temperature for all months of the year for the period from 1952 to 2013 for 12 stations.

Analysis of surface air temperature in the Antarctic Peninsula indicates the presence of certain changes that occur in the thermal regime in the region, namely the influence of planetary temperature increase. Over the past thirty years recorded a steady trend to an increase in surface air temperature during most months of the year, which may indicate a violation of the stability of the thermal regime of the Antarctic Peninsula.
