Comment:

On 6 July 2011, an Automatic Weather Station (AWS) was deployed at 70°34.505' S, 8°05.753' W on Atka Bay landfast sea ice, 1.6 km from the ice shelf edge.

The AWS measured temperature (2 m), relative humidity, barometric pressure, wind velocity, wind speed as well as downward and upward radiation and snow thickness in 1-minute intervals.

During deployment, the cover of the Humicap sensor broke, leading to data loss of temperature and humidity. It was replaced on 15 July. Due to a power failure, data is missing between 11 July and 15 July as well as between 26 July and 10 August. On 29 December, the AWS was recovered and transported back to Neumayer.

These meteorological observations contribute to the Antarctic Fast Ice Network (AFIN).
