The Italian Meteo-Climatological Observatory in Antarctica: Air Temperature Measurements by means of an Automatic Weather Station Network
Entry ID: Meteo_ClimObserv_temperature

[ Update this Record ]

Summary
Abstract: A network for temperature 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.
