Ongoing Projects
Cloud Mass Meridional Transport
This project aims to investigate the controlling mechanisms of cryospheric variability in Antarctica and the Southern Ocean. The main goal of the research is to advance the understanding of atmospheric processes responsible for the characteristics...
Byrd Tall Tower AWS
This project’s main objective is an observational campaign, focused on studying and understanding the behavior of the atmospheric boundary layer over the West Antarctic ice sheet (WAIS), especially in comparison to other studies across the continent.
Alexander Tall Tower! AWS
This project’s main objective is an observational campaign, focused on studying and understanding the behavior of the atmospheric boundary layer over the Ross Ice Shelf, especially in comparison to other studies across the continent.
Optimized Deployment of Antarctic Surface Weather Observations
The overarching goal of this project is to determine and verify the optimal placement of surface meteorological observations in Antarctica that will sufficiently aid in forecast products made by the Antarctic Mesoscale Prediction System (AMPS).
Next Generation Polar Climate and Weather Station - Antarctic Meteorology Project
The goal of this project is to develop, test, and deploy a new polar automatic climate and weather observing station for use in remote polar regions, particularly the Antarctic.
Model Verification Project and Quality Control of AWS Observations
This project is a collaboration between the AMRDC and the Naval Information Warfare Center (NIWC) to compare realtime data from the NIWC AWS network with Antarctic Mesoscale Prediction System (AMPS) model output, and to quality-control NIWC AWS data.
