Repository Scope
The AMRDC Repository provides archival, preservation, access, and metadata authoring services for Antarctic meteorological data, managing data from submission to end-user retrieval. The repository hosts data collected by the Antarctic Meteorological Research Center and Automatic Weather Systems projects, as well as campaign meteorological datasets deposited by other Antarctic investigators. The repository hosts a multitude of data types and forms, including raw oberservational data, imagery, and processed datasets.
To learn more about the repository and its features, please consult our User Guide.
The repository accepts datasets from accredited organizations and researchers engaged in research related to Antarctic meteorology and climatology. Data within the AMRDC Repository is made accessible to the larger Antarcitc research community with metadata and publishing information for open-access use.
