Arctic Ocean Snow and Meteorological Observations from Drifting Stations
Entry ID:
G01168
Summary
Abstract:
During 1950-1991 the USSR maintained two, and sometimes three,
drifting ice stations in the Arctic Ocean. In addition to supporting scientific studies, these manned ice camps operated as synoptic meteorological stations reporting position, surface weather, atmospheric soundings, solar radiation, and snow conditions. Data from these drifting stations are daily averages, or 3-hourly measured ...  Geographic Coverage

Quality
Data were quality checked (i.e. variable range checks) at Arctic and
Antarctic Research Institute, St. Petersburg, Russia, and at Polar Science Center, University of Washington, Seattle. Solar radiation data have been published in a data report (Marshunova and Mishin, 1994.) Meteorological instrument ...
