Climate Data Acquisition - Scott Base and Arrival Heights

Principal Investigator: Andrew Harper
Organisation: NIWA

The goal of this programme is to obtain a high quality, continuous climate record for Scott Base and Arrival Heights in Antarctica. Scott Base is one of 47 reference climate stations for the New Zealand region managed by NIWA, and climate observations (wind speed and direction, air temperature, relative humidity, barometric pressure, global solar radiation, diffuse solar radiation and direct solar radiation) are recorded there on a daily basis.
