Between 1970 and 1984 from Molodezhnaya numerous Meteorology is the scientific study of the atmosphere that focuses on weather processes and forecasting. Meteorological phenomena are observable weather events which illuminate and are explained by the science of meteorology. Those events are bound by the variables that exist in Earths atmosphere. They are temperature, pressure, water vapor...

At present, due to decommissioning of the Molodezhnaya station, preparation is underway for organizing a new Weather Bureau at the Progress Base (Prydz Bay) based on new technologies for synoptic data acquisition and processing.
The main factor determining weather processes of the Molodezhnaya area is the cyclonic activity with cyclones passing along both zonal and meridional trajectories.
However, at Molodezhnaya the weather is mainly governed by the influence of the eastern branch of the West Atlantic ridge and is distinguished by certain stability.
Molodezhnaya station (opened in February 1962) is located on the southern shore of Alasheyev Bay with coordinates of 67040’ S and 45050’ E and a height above sea level of 42 m.
The main goals addressed by weather forecasters at Molodezhnaya was hydrometeorological information support of activities of different scientific teams, sledge-tractor traverses, aircraft flights, navigation of ships and loading-unloading at the stations also during helicopter operations.
The summer at Molodezhnaya is warmer and the winter is colder than in Mirny, but the air temperature multiyear averages at both stations are negative in all months.
