  • 2.5.2. Alternative Construction Sites in Other Antarctic Areas
    Draft Comprehensive Environmental Evaluation 2.5.2. Alternative construction sites in other Antarctic areas Other BAS placement options in other Antarctic regions were further analised, taking into consideration scientific, environmental, logistic and other aspects. However, no alternative site for BAS placement was reported to meet all the criteria to a greater extent than that at Mount Vechernyaya location selected. 2.5.3. Zero alternative (no construction) As a zero alternative option, renovation and continuation of use of the Mount Vechernyaya field base infrastructure was subject to analysis. However, continued use of the residential premises and other RAE field base infrastructure turns out to become increasingly problematic due to their deterioration and incompliance to the Antarctic environmental protection requirements. Therefore, the zero alternative option seems to be only a temporary postponement of own station construction. Unavailability of existing facilities hampers substantially the development of scientific research, increasing the number of staff involved in BAE, making the field season longer and thus jeopardising the proper implementation of the National Program in its entirety. The up-to-date station construction would benefit to friendlier environment for living and working of polar explorers and contribute to reduced impact on the environment. Research Station at Mount Vechernyaya 39 Draft Comprehensive Environmental Evaluation 3. Initial Environmental Evaluation 3.1. General geographic description and relief The natural complex known as Mount Vechernyaya is located at the western part of Enderby Land, Tala Hills (eastern part), at the coastal area of the Alasheeva Gulf, Cosmonaut Sea. It incorporates a series of rocky ridges with a dominant mountain, the Mount Vecherniaya (272.0 m), and several lower ridges, breaking through the Antarctic ice sheet on the Cosmonauts Sea shore.

Abstract We conduct sensitivity experiments using a climate model that has an explicit water source tagging capability forced by prescribed composites of sea ice concentrations (SIC) and corresponding SSTs to understand the impact of sea ice anomalies on regional evaporation, moisture transport, and source– 5 receptor relationships for precipitation over Antarctica. Surface sensible heat fluxes, evaporation, and column-integrated water vapor are larger over Southern Ocean (SO) areas with lower SIC, but changes in Antarctic precipitation and its source attribution with SICs reflect a strong spatial variability. Among the tagged source regions, the Southern Ocean (south of 50°S) contributes the most (40%) to the Antarctic total precipitation, followed by more northerly ocean basins, most notably the S.

    How to use the Atlas The Atlas has two map sections The Main Section shows the location of Russia’s intact forest landscapes. The Thematic Section shows their tree species composition in two different ways. The legend is placed at the beginning of each set of maps. If you are looking for an area near a town or village Go to the Index on page 153 and find the alphabetical list of settlements by English name. The Cyrillic name is also given along with the map page number and coordinates (latitude and longitude) where it can be found. Capitals of regions and districts (raiony) are listed along with many other settlements, but only in the vicinity of intact forest landscapes. The reader should not expect to see a city like Moscow listed. Villages that are insufficiently known or very small are not listed and appear on the map only as nameless dots. If you are looking for an administrative region Go to the Index on page 185 and find the list of administrative regions. The numbers refer to the map on the inside back cover. Having found the region on this map, the reader will know which index map to use to search further. If you are looking for the big picture Go to the overview map on page 35. This map shows all of Russia’s Intact Forest Landscapes, along with the borders and Roman numerals of the five index maps. If you are looking for a certain part of Russia Find the appropriate index map. These show the borders of the detailed maps for different parts of the country.
