Antarctic Sea Ice Processes and Climate (ASPeCt) archive of ship-based sea ice observations

The Antarctic Sea Ice Processes and Climate (ASPeCt) data archive contains ship-based observations of sea ice and snow cover thickness and properties from vessels operating in the Antarctic pack ice. The ship-based observing scheme, introduced in 1997, provides a standardised system for making and recording observations, which are quality controlled and archived in Hobart, Tasmania. The earliest data are from 1980, which have been translated from analog records and charts into their existing digital form, to be consistent with more recent data.

南极海冰过程与气候（Antarctic Sea Ice Processes and Climate, ASPeCt）数据档案库收录了在南极浮冰区作业船只获取的海冰与积雪厚度、特性相关的船基观测数据。该船基观测方案于1997年推出，构建了一套标准化的观测与记录体系，所有观测数据均经过质量控制，并存档于澳大利亚塔斯马尼亚州霍巴特市。最早的观测数据可追溯至1980年，这些数据已从模拟记录与海图转录为当前的数字格式，以与近年的观测数据保持格式统一。
