Meteorological data - AWS MARIA - Antarctic Meteoclimatic Observatory in MSZ and Victoria Land - OSS09

The Observatory main purpose is to contribute to the monitoring of global climate change monitoring standard meteorological parameters. The automatic weather station AWS Maria is located on the Mount Browning (74° 37′ 35″ S - 164° 0′ 40″ E) at 355 m a.s.l., and has been installed on the 1 November 1997. It acquired, every hour, all year round, the meteorological vaiables of wind velocity, wind direction, temperature, pressure and relative humidity.
