Palmer Station Waterwall data, 2016-present (ongoing).
These data should not be used for scientific analyses. The pump system that carries seawater to the waterwall instrument has had multiple intakes at different depths which can cause unexpected variations in the data that are not representative of the environment. These issues are under evaluation... -

These correspond with when instruments were changed out for the... -
Palmer Station Snowstake daily weather observations, 2006-present (ongoing).
From 2006-2016, all Snowstake measurements were made from a single Snowstake located between the Aquariums and the Pump House. A measurement was made once a day. Due to the location near the decking, snow may have been shoveled onto the Snowstake. A hand rail on the deck was used to determine New... -

Through 2016, all Snowstake measurements were made from a single Snowstake located between the Aquariums and the Pump House. A measurement was made once a day. Due to the location near the decking, snow may have been shoveled onto the Snowstake. A had rail on the deck was used to determine New... -
Palmer Station Automated Weather Data System observational data, 2001-present (ongoing).
This system also referred to as PAWS to differentiate between the previous system “PALMOS” located on Gamage Point. Yearly directories contain monthly subdirectories with files containing daily observational data. Data files and station locations: ARYYMMDD.100- The weather station on Gamage Point... -
Palmer Station climatology summary data, 1989-present (ongoing).
For the period 1999 on, summaries were checked for math errors, transcription errors, typos, misread graphs, and coding and data entry inconsistencies. For the period before 1999, a much more cursory review was performed. Suspicious values were investigated and corrected by, if possible,... -
Palmer Station CLIMAT surface observational data, 2007-present (ongoing).
Each yearly directory contains monthly CLIMAT messages in ASCII text format. Wind speeds and gusts had to be corrected between 2/28/2019 17:56 UTC - 11/20/2019 16:17 UTC due to the wrong propeller being installed on the BASE wind sensor. All files with "_fix" appended to them have been corrected.... -
McMurdo Weather Office Automatic Weather Station Data, 2002 - present (ongoing).
These files contain monthly text-based observational data that is made available by automatic weather stations (AWS) maintained by the McMurdo Weather Office at McMurdo Station, Ross Island, Antarctica.. The files contain a three-line header with the name of the AWS, its ID number, Location... -
Automatic Weather Station climat surface messages, 2006 - present (ongoing).
These files are CLIMAT surface messages, created from a subset of AWS sites from the UW-Madison AWS network. The filenames are named [III]-[YYYY]-[MM].txt, where III is the three-letter code to indicate the station, YYYY is the year, and MM is the month. These files are formatted per the World... -
Daily observational data collected by two NSF research vessels in the Antarctic Ocean, 1994-present (ongoing).
These datasets are derived from the daily situation reports of two National Science Foundation-operated research vessels, R/V Laurence M. Gould (1994-present) and R/V Nathaniel B. Palmer (2001-present). The yearly directories each contain monthly ASCII text files using *.obs as a file extension.... -
Palmer Station monthly weather reports, 2022-present (ongoing).
