  1. ANTARCTIC CLIMATE VARIABILITY AND CHANGE: AN EXHAUSTIVE ANALYSIS OF THE TEMPERATURE DATASET FROM ORCADAS (1903-2008) Matilde Rusticucci1 Susan Solomon2 - Natalia Zazulie11DCAO, FCEN, University of Buenos Aires, Buenos Aires, Argentina3Chemical Sciences Division, Earth System Research Laboratory, NOAA, Boulder, CO USA The goal of the present study is to conduct a more detailed analysis of both the variability and the trends in Antarctic climate, using the most comprehensive data available. The only nearly-complete 20th century instrumental record of Antarctic climate is from Orcadas, the Argentine station, which has never been published. This work analyses the detailed daily temperature trends from this unique dataset which covers the period 1903-2008. Both climate means and extremes are analyzed Distribution of frequencies of observations of daily temperatures during the summer season (Dec-Jan-Feb) for each 20 year period since 1903.
