Automatic Weather Station Data obtained at Dome A (Argus), Antarctica

We consider this location as a potential site to collect an ice core to provide a record of past climate and atmospheric gas composition going back more than one million years. The Dome A AWS measures: - wind speed (knots) - air temperature - with sensors mounted on mast arms at 1 m, 2 m and 4 m above the snow surface (degrees Celsius) - snow temperature at 0.1 m, 1 m, 3 m and 10 m depth - atmospheric pressure (hPa) - wind direction (degrees) - incoming solar radiation (MJ per square metre) - relative humidity (percent) - snow-fall rate.

(We note that sensor heights decrease as precipitation settles at the site.) Time is given in UTC.
