Three-Hourly Antarctic Automatic Weather Station Data, 1980-2000

The Automatic Weather Station (AWS) Project, funded by the NSF Office of Polar Programs, involves collecting meteorological data from an array of automatic weather stations in Antarctica, Greenland, and Peru. Data collection in Antarctica began in 1980.

Data are available in tabular ASCII format via the University of Wisconsin's AWS Project Web site at http://uwamrc.ssec.wisc.edu/aws/. Both raw and 'corrected' versions of the data are available via ftp. Information about data processing and station characteristics is also provided.

由美国国家科学基金会（National Science Foundation, NSF）极地项目办公室资助的自动气象站（AWS）项目，通过部署于南极洲、格陵兰岛与秘鲁的多台自动气象站收集气象数据。南极洲的气象数据采集工作始于1980年。

用户可通过威斯康星大学自动气象站项目官方网站（http://uwamrc.ssec.wisc.edu/aws/）获取表格型ASCII格式的数据集。可通过文件传输协议（File Transfer Protocol, FTP）获取原始数据与经校正后的数据两种版本。该平台同时提供数据处理方法及气象站特征参数的相关说明信息。
