Abstract
The characteristics of the spatial distribution, temporal variations t rend and oscillation for the surface air temperature variations during 1957-1993 in the Antarctic and its surrounding area were analyzed. Th e results show that the shea-time climate change in the Antarctic is c omplex both temporally and spatially. The Antarctic is by no means the strongest responding region to the global greenhouse effect. There is a distinguished difference in the bends of the temperature changes fo r the Antarctic and global mean, which could not be explained simply b y the global greenhouse effect.
