The Italian Meteo-Climatological Observatory in Antarctica: Relative Humidity Measurements by means of an Automatic Weather Station Network

A network for relative humidity 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.
