Daily averaged weather timeseries (air temperature, pressure, wind speed, wind direction, precipitation, sky cover) at Palmer Station, Antarctica combining manual observations (1989 - Dec 12, 2003) and PALMOS automatic weather station measurements (Dec 13, 2003 - October 2017).

Weather data acquisition was originally by manual observation and continued with an automated system installed in Nov 2001. Measurements began shifting from manual to automated observations in June 2003 until the manual observations were ended on December 12, 2003. Data are collected, compiled, and distributed by the US Antarctic polar contractor. Electronic distributed occurs monthly from Palmer station via internet and are available at University of Wisconsin weather archive: ftp://amrc.ssec.wisc.edu/pub/palmer/climatology/

本气象数据集的采集初始采用人工观测模式，2001年11月部署自动化观测系统后，双轨观测模式并行运行；2003年6月起，观测工作正式启动从人工观测向自动化观测的过渡，并于2003年12月12日全面终止人工观测环节。本数据集由美国南极极地承包方负责采集、整编与分发。数据每月以电子格式通过互联网从帕尔默站（Palmer Station）对外推送，可于威斯康星大学（University of Wisconsin）气象档案库获取，下载地址为：ftp://amrc.ssec.wisc.edu/pub/palmer/climatology/
