    Description / Table of Contents: The Weddell Sea, part of the circumpolar Southern Ocean, is probably the most remote, least known and least accessible sea in the world. Difficult ice conditions have limited the acquisition of ship data, although this has been partly offset in recent years by access to satellite radar altimetry data. The Weddell Sea was originally defined by the Admiralty Hydrographic Department in 1932 and redefined by the Antarctic Place Names Committee in 1976 (Hattersley-Smith 1991). It is bounded on the western side by the east coast of the Antarctic Peninsula, on the southern side by the Ronne and Filchner ice fronts, and on the southeastern side by the Dronning Maud Land and Coats Land coasts of East Antarctica (Fig. 1). The South Scotia Ridge separates the Weddell Sea from the Scotia Sea to the north and a line joining Southern Thule in the South Sandwich Islands and Kapp Norvegia in Dronning Maud Land, separates it from the South Atlantic Ocean to the NE. Within this volume, papers relate to the Weddell Sea as defined above, together with part of the adjoining South Atlantic Ocean up to 50°E, and to the geology of the once neighbouring continents of Gondwana. The term Weddell Sea embayment is also used informally throughout this volume to include the embayment area to the south of the Weddell Sea now covered by the Ronne and Filchner ice shelves, including Berkner Island, and the continental shelf north of the Ronne and Filchner ice fronts (Figs 1 & 2).

    Description / Table of Contents: Deterministic chaos offers a striking explanation for irregular behaviour and anomalies in systems which do not seem to be inherently stochastic. The most direct link between chaos theory and the real world is the analysis of time series from real systems in terms of nonlinear dynamics. This book provides experimentalists with methods for processing, enhancing, and analysing measured signals using these methods; and for theorists it also demonstrates the practical applicability of mathematical results. The framework of deterministic chaos constitutes a new approach to the analysis of irregular time series. Traditionally, nonperiodic signals have been modelled by linear stochastic processes. But even very simple chaotic dynamical systems can exhibit strongly irregular time evolution without random inputs. Chaos theory offers completely new concepts and algorithms for time series analysis which can lead to a thorough understanding of the signals. The book introduces a broad choice of such concepts and methods, including phase space embeddings, nonlinear prediction and noise reduction, Lyapunov exponents, dimensions and entropies, as well as statistical tests for nonlinearity. Related topics such as chaos control, wavelet analysis, and pattern dynamics are also discussed. Applications range from high-quality, strictly deterministic laboratory data to short, noisy sequences which typically occur in medicine, biology, geophysics, and the social sciences. All the material discussed is illustrated using real experimental data. This book will be of value to any graduate student or researcher who needs to be able to analyse time series data, especially in the fields of physics, chemistry, biology, geophysics, medicine, economics, and the social sciences.

    Description / Table of Contents: This book presents a comprehensive survey of the climatology and meteorology of Antarctica. As well as describing the climate which prevails in the Antarctic, the book also considers the processes by which this climate is maintained and explores links between the Antarctic and the global climate system. The first section of the book reviews the methods by which we can observe the Antarctic atmosphere and presents a synthesis of climatological measurements. In the second section, the processes whcih maintain the observed climate are considered, starting with large-scale weather systems to mesoscale and small-scale processes. The final section reviews our current knowledge of the variability of the Antarctic climate and considers changes that may occur in Antarctica as a result of 'greenhouse' warming. Throughout the book, the links between the Antarctic atmosphere and other elements of the Antarctic climate system (oceans, sea ice and ice sheets) are stressed and the processes which couple the Antarctic with the global climate system are examined. The instruments and platforms used in Antarctic climate studies are discussed (including automatic stations and international data centres), with special emphasis on the role of remote sensing from satellites and numerical modelling techniques. This volume will be of greatest interest to meteorologists and climatologists with a specialised interest in Antarctica and the Southern Ocean, but it will also appeal to researchers in Antarctic glaciology, oceanography and biology. Graduates and undergraduates studying physical geography or the earth, atmospheric and environmental sciences will find much useful background material in the book.
