Hi Stu,
I am not an expert in that area, but let me point you to two US sites
that provide real-time observations and forecast model output over
Antarctica:

You can get a wealth of observational data through the first link, and
products from forecast model output at the second link.
There is a nice compilation of Antarctica met resources at:
http://www.climantartide.it/utilita/link.php?lang=it
Be warned that the above compilation can be overwhelming to peruse through.

A Geon IDV user has asked me about using the IDV to show weather observations
and forecast model output over Antarctica.
If you know of sources of such data that can be used in the IDV, please send me
word. I understand this will be used to
support the NSF Office of Polar Programs (http://nsf.gov/dir/index.jsp?org=OPP).
