Italian Antarctic Data Center
Radiosonde DomeC - Antarctic Meteoclimatic Observatory in Concordia
Monitoring of climate data in the area of the Concordia station, at Dome C, from the XXXIV Antarctic campaign using radiosonde system (RDS) DOMEC. The climate parameters monitored are: Height (gps position), Pressure, Temperature, Humidity, Velocity of wind, Direction of the wind. The data are obtained doing upper-air measurements. Data are collected every day at 12UTC, all year round. The DOMEC is active since 2006-01-19. The RDS (VAISALA RS92) is launched into the atmosphere coupled to a balloon inflated with helium. The sonde rises with a speed of about 2-5 m / s up to a height of between 20 and 25 km. During the ascent all the parameters are acquired. The data obtained are coded both in a digital format (BUFR) and in text format and entered into the global network (GTS) of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO).

- Purpose
- The Observatory's main purpose is to contribute to the monitoring of global climate change by working in cooperation with other countries operating in the area. Have been monitored standard meteorological parameters integrating them with measures of snow transport and accumulation in localities of scientific interest. The Observatory provides data to the national and international scientific communities.
