Documentation and Metadata

Starting Feburary 11th, 2016 the launch point of the McMurdo radiosonde was set to 32.2 meters instead of 10.1
meters. The error was fixed on May 17th, 2017, and efforts will be made to make a correction to the launch point.

The Antarctic Meteorological Research Center in collaboration with the McMurdo Meteorology Office archives many forms of meteorological data from McMurdo Station available for use by the scientific community and the public, free of charge. Much of the data is provided online – via repository or web, but some data has yet to be added to the Web, so feel free to ask for other types of data not listed above.
