Abstract:

Automatic weather station data from a buoy deployed on sea ice station PS81/515-1 from Research Vessel Polarstern in the Antarctic Weddell Sea in austral winter 2013 (cruise leg ANT-XXIX/6, AWECS campaign). The automatic weather station provides data between 2013-07-26T19:00 and 2013-10-03T19:00. Time is in UTC.

Comment:

Please note:

-AWS specifications: Iridium IMEI #300234060014050

-processing done here is only correction of snow depth for temperature

-snow depth quality "good" range is 152 - 210

-no IMB was installed at this ice station, therefore once the ice station was complete and GPS bases removed, there was no reference by which to correct for floe rotation therefore no attempt is made to correct the AWS relative wind direction to a true wind direction

-snow depth temperature correction is SDcorr = SD*sqrt[(273.15+Tair)/273.15]

- Average wind direction is identical to the instantaneous wind direction value for all 10-minute periods, most likely a datalogger code issue
