Italian Antarctic Data Center
Automatic Weather Station systems - Antarctic Meteoclimatic Observatory in MZS and Victoria Land
The Observatory main purpose is to contribute to the monitoring of global climate change. Standard meteorological parameters are monitored and additional data are obtained by measures of snow transport and accumulation in localities of scientific interest.The monitoring network consists of 16 automatic weather stations (AWS) operating all the year, round.They are setted in the area between 'Mario Zucchelli Station' (MZS, 74 ° 41 ‘S - 164° 05’ E), the French-Italian 'Concordia' base (DC, 75 ° S, 123 ° E) on the Antarctic Plateau and the French base Dumont’Urville (DDU, 66 ° 40’S - 140 ° 01’E) towards Wilkes Land.
At OASI laboratories a laser rain gauge, an all sky camera and a Micro-Rain-Radar were maintained and left working during winter season. In OASI surroundings were installed a new ceilometer (VAISALA CL51) for cloud base measurement up to 15 km and a Total Rain weighing Sensor TRwS for snow precipitations.
