Antarctic Meteorological Oberservations from the Neumayer Ground Station and Research Ship FS Polarstern
Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR
These data are collected by the Alfred Wegener Institute (AWI) for Polar and Marine Research, Bremerhaven for the Antarctica at the Neumayer Ground Station (70S,8W) and at the research ship FS Polarstern.
Description
Synoptic observations are carried out every 3 hours. They include measurements of air temperature (at 2 m height), air pressure (values are reduced to mean sea level), wind vector, dew point temperature (at 2 m height), clouds (cloud amount, type and height), horizontal visibility, present and past weather and snowdrift.
The full program is carried out at 0, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21 UTC. During night time at 3 and 6 UTC, the visual observations are omitted. The data is coded (FM12-SYNOP) and transferred directly to the Global Telecommunication System (GTS) by a Data Collecting Platform (DCP) where they contribute to weather forecasting.

At AWI the routine 3-hourly weather observation are archived together with the data from the daily upper air soundings and surface radiation and mast measurements in a relational database (SYBASE). Synoptic data are available since 28 January 1981. Actual observations normally reach the database once a month.
The data in the database can be retrieved directly via WWW:
