Optimized Deployment of Antarctic Surface Weather Observations: Quality Control on Antarctic staffed station observations

Listed in AMRDC Data Repository

Six-hourly synoptic observational data were aqcuired from the years 2008-2012 for thirteen staffed stations across Antarctica (as listed below): Neumayer, Amundsen-Scott, Halley, Bellingshausen, Rothera Point, Syowa, Mawson, Davis, Dome A, Mirnyj, Vostok, Casey, and Cape Ross.

Description

Data were quality-controlled following the UW-Madison quality control procedure. The resulting quality-controlled data are provided in the 10-minute, q10, ASCII text file output format.

Each set of daily observations begins at 0000 UTC. The hourly data are recorded at the top of every hourly interval: i.e. at 0000 UTC, 0100 UTC, 0200 UTC, 0300 UTC, etc. for the one-hour data; and at 0000 UTC, 0300 UTC, 0600, etc. for the three-hour data. The data files contain a two-line header that gives the year, month, 3 letter ID, Argos ID, and station name in the first line; and latitude, longitude, and elevation in the second line.
