Climate change in the Antarctic during the recent 15-30 years, the key period of global climate change, has been detected in observations acquired at the Great Wall (GW) and Zhongshan (ZS) Stations. Data show the Antarctic Peninsula has experienced a cooling trend during the recent 15 years, in conjunction with a declining trend in pressure and an increasing trend in precipitation, reflecting some new changes that have occurred during the global warming hiatus. Meanwhile, the data from the ZS station show relatively flat trends compared with the GW station, implying obvious regional climatic differences between the Antarctic Peninsula and the eastern Antarctic continent. Investigation of the correlation between multiple meteorological parameters and the Antarctic Oscillation (AAO) indicates significant correlation between the AAO and climate at both stations. The different responses to the AAO at the GW and ZS stations might be attributable to the regional characteristics of the atmospheric circulation corresponding to the AAO.
