This warming is significantly higher than previously reported, exceeding 0.1 degree C per decade over the past 50 years, and is strongest in winter and spring. The image incorporates temperature data collected over a 50-year period from 1957 to 2006. Surface color is derived from low-resolution LIMA data, while topography is from a RADARSAT 200m DEM. The ice cover is derived from 12-km AMSR-E data taken on 5/14/08.    Antarctic temperature trends Available formats:   3200 x 2400     TIFF 6 MB   320 x 240         PNG     339 KB   160 x 80           PNG       65 KB   80 x 40             PNG       16 KB    Color bar Available formats:   1200 x 200       TIFF   937 KB   320 x 53           PNG       28 KB   160 x 80           PNG       22 KB   80 x 40             PNG         7 KB Animation Number: 3575 Completed: 2008-11-20 Animator: Trent L.
