There are a few research stations where scientists live and take observations, and there are many more automated weather stations. But to get a more uniform measurement, scientists use satellites that are able to measure in the thermal infrared part of the spectrum, which measures temperature.
What else can I help you with?
What unit do scientists use to measure the surface temperatures of stars?
Kelvin (K)
Is -85 degrees f impossible to measure?
Not at all. You might not be able to measure it with your common household thermometer, but scientists can measure temperatures even colder than that.
What do scientists look for in Antarctica?
Scientists working in Antarctica study the health of planet earth.
What are two scales scientists use to measure temperature and what is the official SI unit for temperatures?
Celsius and Kelvins are the two scales that scientists use to measure temperature and the official SI unit for temperature is Celsius.
How would you describe the summer temperatures of Antarctica?
Summer temperatures in Antarctica are generally below freezing.
Who uses antarctica?
Antarctica is used by scientists by way of their governments.
Why does Antarctica have such a rich marine life?
The oceans that surround Antarctica are the coldest on earth, and the most productive on earth. Scientists continue to study the question you ask, because so far, there's no clear answer. We we have learned, however, is that most life lives longer in cooler temperatures than at hotter temperatures.
Where do scientists sleep in antarctica?
Scientists live in a heated tent
Would you more likely to find skiers or scientists in Antarctica?
You'll find both there. Some scientists ski, and there is some cross-country skiing in Antarctica. Some cross-country skiers in Antarctica are not scientists.
What are the average monthly temperatures in Antarctica versus UK?
Average temperatures in Antarctica are generally below freezing; in UK freezing temperatures are more rare on average.
When does Antarctica have its higher temperatures?
Antarctica experiences warmer temperatures when the sun shines on the continent, which is during the austral summer months.
What is the Celsius of Antarctica?
The range of temperatures recorded on Antarctica is -89.2°C to 14.6°C. Average temperatures vary by region.
