These are the 3-hourly Automatic Weather Station observational files used for Costanza et al. 2016, "The Surface Climatology of the Ross Ice Shelf Antarctica." The full citation for the published paper is: Costanza, C.A., Lazzara, M.A., Keller, L.M. and Cassano, J.J. (2016), The surface...

The 2-m air temperature anomalies at monthly intervals for 1958-2022 over Antarctica at 60 km grid spacing are reconstructed based on the methodology of Nicolas and Bromwich (2014; doi: 10.1175/JCLI-D-13-00733.1). The ERA5 global reanalysis provides the weights to spatially extrapolate the...

A team of researchers led by Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California San Diego has created a scale to characterize the strength and impacts of “atmospheric rivers” mainly for the mid-latitudes. This Polar AR scale utilize an adapted version of the original AR Scale...

This is the data and metadata for modeled Wind Speed - part of six modeled parameters that comprise the Taylor Valley Glacier Melt modeling. Data contained and described in this document correspond to the physically-based surface energy balance model for the glaciers of Taylor Valley developed by...

The project aims to carry out a climatological analysis of the dynamics and structure of the Antarctic polar stratospheric vortex over the last decade 1993-2003 and its relationship with the 'Ozone (O3) hole' phenomenon. In particular will be evaluated all the data from the ground by LIDAR,...

This dataset contains the local climatological data (LCD) files for Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station. These files are available for the period of record of January 1957 until present. The datafiles contain daily and monthly summary measurements in plain text format. Each yearly zip file contains...

Nine long-term soil-climate stations in Antarctica were set up to study the effects of latitude, elevation, and soil age. Stations monitor soil temperature, soil water content, air temperature, relative humidity, solar radiation, and wind (speed and direction). Stations: Bull Pass, Bull Pass...

Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station was established by the United States Navy in the austral summer of 1956–1957. This dataset contains the complete record of meteorological observations from the Amundsen–Scott South Pole Station, February 1957 through February 2011 as reported in the local climate...
