Daily weather conditions were also recorded. It was also found that, although there were no overall correlations between wind scale, air temperature, sunshine, precipitation, sea roughness and cloud cover with seal numbers, there were conditions on specific days that affected the movements of seals between wallows. Most notably, it was found that numbers of seals decreased when they were exposed to winds, and that they often sought out more sheltered sites nearby.}, type={Article}, title={Moulting southern elephant seals, Mirounga leonina (L.) and local weather conditions, on Livingston Island, South Shetland}, URL={http://www.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/111026/PDF-MASTER/1994-3-4_135-146.pdf}, keywords={Antarctica, moult, southern elephant seals}, }
