The Italian Meteo-Climatological Observatory in Antarctica: Relative Humidity Measurements by means of an Automatic Weather Station Network

Entry ID: Meteo_Clim_Observ_humidity

[ Update this Record ]

Summary

Abstract: A network for relative humidity measurements was started with 4 Automatic
Weather Stations in 1987 around Terra Nova Bay (North Victoria Land). It
provides continuous meteo-climatological data and information, according to
standard and reliable procedures, making use of robust methodologies and
testing new procedures. At present, we operate a network of 13 Automatic
Weather Stations working year-round plus 3 working during summer only. Data are
achieved, validated, archived and diffused, and instruments are maintained.
