Statistical analysis of spatial and temporal distribution characteristics of the sea surface wind field in the South Pole peripheral sea at south latitude of 55°~90°, using the Advanced SCATterometer (ASCAT) scatter meter wind field data from Jan.1, 2013 to Dec. 31, 2013. The results show that: in the South Pole peripheral sea, the maximum monthly mean wind speed was 12 m/s, appeared in July; the minimum monthly mean wind speed was 8 m/s, appeared in January. The regional average wind speed is 9~12 m/s, which appeared in more than 280 days in 2013. The proportion of the wind with a speed >10 m/s in April to September is greater than that in January to March and October to December. For the full year of 2013, the wind speed in April to September is greater than that in January to March and October to December, the wind speed at 0°~60°W is obviously less than that in other region of the South Pole peripheral sea. The change tendencies of daily and monthly average wind speeds in 2013 were similar with those in 2012. Through this long-term work, we can understand the basic situation of the Antarctic wind field environment, establish and update the basic information and maps, the wind field spatio-temporal distribution and variation in Antarctic area, to serve the Antarctic scientific expedition, global change and other multidisciplinary research application.
