Physical Basis for Forecasting Strong Wind Events in the Antarctic Coastal Regions
Entry ID:
ASAC_632
Summary
Abstract:
The data set generated in this project is a long (10 years) climate model simulation, with the data over the Antarctic coastal region extracted. A subsidiary data set is episodes of strong simulated surface winds, particularly in the Casey region.

From one of the referenced papers:
Data and analysis techniques The data analyses on which the current study is based are the 2300 GMT numerical analyses from the Australian Bureau of Meteorology, Melbourne Australia. These analyses are contained on a 47x47 polar stereographic grid centred on the south pole, giving a resolution of approximately 500 km. The earlier years of this analyses set have been used in a wide range of studies. The data used cover the 2300 GMT analyses for the 15-year period, February 1975 to March 1990.
