Description	In this contribution, an objective circulation pattern classification for the Antarctic Peninsula region is presented. The analysis is based on ERA-Interim reanalysis data, specifically the daily mean sea level pressure anomalies for the period from 2005 to 2015. In order to obtain the circulation patterns, the self-organizing maps technique, implemented in the MATLAB software, was used. In future, the classification will be used for assessment of near-surface air temperature field, especially above glaciated areas of James Ross Island to clarify atmosphere-glacier interactions.
