Annual Antarctic snowfall accumulation anomalies (mm/yr), in red) during 1955-2004, adapted from Monaghan et al. (2006b<ref name="Monaghan et al, 2006b">Monaghan, A.J., Bromwich, D.H., Fogt, R.L., Wang, S.H., Mayewski, P.A., Dixon, D.A., Ekaykin, A., Frezzotti, M., Goodwin, I., Isaksson, E., Kaspari, S.D., Morgan, V.I., Oerter, H., Van Ommen, T.D., Van Der Veen, C.J. and Wen, J.H. 2006b.

Advances in describing recent Antarctic climate variability, ''Bull. Amer. Meteorol. Soc.'', '''89''', 1295-1306.</ref>). Anomalies are with respect to the 1955-2004 mean. The five-year running mean is shown in blue. The &plusmn;95% confidence intervals for the annual anomalies are shown in grey. The statistical uncertainty accounts for the variance, as well as that due to the methodology and measurement error.
