The Italian Meteo-Climatological Observatory in Antarctica: Wind Speed and Direction Measurements by means of an Automatic Weather Station Network
Entry ID: Meteo_Clim_Observ_Wind_Speed

[ Update this Record ]

Summary
Abstract: A network for wind 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.
