ANTARCTIC INFLUENCES ON AUSTRALIAN CLIMATE 299 



alternate with northward-moving currents of cold Antarctic air. The 

 belts of cyclones are developed where these two dissimilar currents 

 come into contact. 



Conclusion 



In this resume of recent meteorological work the writer has tried 

 to draw attention to the most promising fields of research, but it 

 seems obvious that not much progress can be made until a number of 

 permanent stations can be established around the Antarctic Continent, 

 so that synoptic charts of the whole southern hemisphere will be 

 available for scientific study.
