The major goal for this project is:
Convene a Task Force to discuss the future of Antarctic Meteorological Cyberinfrastructure. The Task Force will write a report that will provide recommendations on a more sustainable future for Antarctic meteorological datasets and cyberinfrastructure. These recommendations will become the blueprint for the future Antarctic meteorological cyberinfrastructure.

Antarctic Meteorological Cyberinfrastructure Report
Additional goals for this project are:
- Specific data collections to continue from the USAP main stations, field camp observations, AWS observations (from the current AWS project), etc. The project will continue to leverage existing grantee computing resources at UW-Madison and at McMurdo Station. This project will interface with networking such as the Antarctic Community LDM (Local Data Manager) Antarctic-IDD (Internet Data Distribution) as a “best” effort.
- Conduct a set of educational broader outreach activities.
- Broader Impacts Outreach Poster
