The data are related to the ionic composition of atmospheric aerosol continuously collected at Dome C. They refer to PM10 and size-segregated aerosol collected at 2-day and 4-day resolution, respectively. The measured chemical parameters include main and trace inorganic anions and cations and selected organic anions (methanesulphonic acid - MSA).

The Observatory main purpose is to contribute to the monitoring of global climate change monitoring standard meteorological parameters. The automatic weather station AWS Paola is located at Talos Dome (72° 49′ 45″ S - 159° 11′ 36″ E) at 2370 m a.s.l., and has been installed on the 26 january 2003. It acquired, every hour, all year round, the meteorological vaiables of wind velocity, wind direction, temperature, pressure and relative humidity, plus snow height acquired as daily averages.

Purpose: The project aims to study the super-cold currents of the Ross Sea by combining the performance of the SARA Submarine Robot with the navigation support provided by the RAS land vehicle, used in parallel cruises under and above the ice, respectively. Year 2005 In Antarctica: no activities. In Italy: completion of activities planned in PEA 2003. Preparation of a test campaign of the systems developed for SARA; installation of a CTD sensor on board; evaluation of the performance of the navigation system, measurement of the effective usability of an acoustic communication channel.

The Observatory main purpose is to contribute to the monitoring of global climate change monitoring standard meteorological parameters. The automatic weather station AWS Jennica was located at Mario Zucchelli Station, in Terra Nova Bay (74° 41′ 40″ S - 164° 7′ 4″ E) at 20 m a.s.l., and has been installed on the 30 December 1999, and has been removed 20 October 2003. It acquired, all year round, the meteorological variables of wind velocity, wind direction, temperature, pressure, relative humidity.

This dataset reports the water stable isotope composition (d18O, dD, D-excess) of precipitation at the Concordia Station, Antarctica. Daily precipitations are collected on benches (height: 1 m) in the clean area 800 m from the Station by the Concordia winter-over personnel. All samples are analyzed with laser spectroscopy (CRDS) or mass spectrometry (IRMS). 2008-2017 data are available here: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.10197160; 2017-2021 data are available here: https://doi.org/10.1594/PANGAEA.971486
