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...

Palmer Station is Station 89061 in the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) Worldwide Network. Automated surface synoptic observations are made 8 times each day and emailed to the National Atmospheric and Oceanographic Administration (NOAA) for entry into the Global Telecommunication System...

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,...

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...

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....

Each data file follows the naming convention YYMMDDTHHMMSS.txt where YY = Year MM = Month DD = Day T = Tide HH = Hour (UTC) MM = Minute SS = Second There are few times over the history of this data where order of the columns change. These correspond with when instruments were changed out for the...

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...

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...

These files contain unmodified 1-minute observational data (non-quality controlled and non-quality assured) from 22 November 2006 to 08 February 2014. The data file columns are organized in the following order for the PTU files: File name Date (DD.MM.YYYY) Time (HH:MM:SS) Temperature (ºC) [TA1...

Monthly averaged temperature through March 1989 are from Baker, K.S. 1996. Palmer LTER: Palmer Station air temperature 1974 to 1996. Beginning in April 1989, monthly averaged values are computed from daily averages (dataset #28). See dataset #28 for methods and description of daily averaged...

These files contain hourly and daily observational data that have been quality controlled. Daily observations are from a composite of manual observations made four times per day from 01 April 1989 to 30 November 2001, adjusted 2-minute automated weather station observations from 01 December 2001...

Automated weather observation station at Palmer Station Antarctica using Coastal Environment sensors. Started recording in November 2001. Overlapped for two years with manual observations. In December 2003, the PalMOS automated report generator was brought online and the manual observations...

Weather data acquisition was originally by manual observation and continued with an automated system installed in Nov 2001. Measurements began shifting from manual to automated observations in June 2003 until the manual observations were ended on December 12, 2003. Data are collected, compiled,...

The following PDFs contain a forecast product created in support of the Year of Polar Prediction – Southern Hemisphere (YOPP-SH) Targeted Observing Period (TOP). The forecasts were produced by Art Cayette from the Naval Information Warfare Center, Naval Weapons Station, in Charleston, SC....
