Monthly documents were created by the Antarctic Meteorological Research and Data Center to identify and track the time and position of Cloud Mass Meridional Transport events (CMMTs) around Antarctica and the Southern Ocean. These events were originally called Cloud Mass Transport events (CMTs) by...

Cloud Mass Meridional Transport events (CMMTs) as defined in Staude (2007) are recorded in the following comma-separated values (CSV) files. CMMTs are manually observed using infrared satellite imagery created by blending geostationary and polar orbiting satellites into a single satellite...

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...

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...

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...

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...
