Abstract

Since the global warming has becoming a significant issue, lots of research and studies have been done in every part of the earth, while we knew little of the Antarctica. the Antarctica is a very complex region. Different research methods and variables for the same region may produce different results. This paper focusing the study of temperature variation in East Antarctica, uses the data from ERA5 and CERES to generate the spatial and temporal plot of the mean temperature and make explain. By using sorts of statistical methods including Spearman's rho and linear regression model, this paper here conducts the analysis of the relationship between the radiation, air pressure and the temperature, finding that the temperature is not sensitive and through they show the same trend, the reason is totally different, attributing to various factors like katabatic wind. This paper contributes to use many statistical methods during the analysis and may provide some new perspective for further investigation.
