Abstract
The surface pressure of an Antarctic station displays two minima, one in spring, the other in autumn. It is believed that these minima are c aused by radiative forcing, as the gradient of the extra-terrestrial r adiation is largest during the two equinoxes. The best correlation (r = 0.85) was obtained when the pressure lagged the radiation gradient b y ten days.
