SnowWEB: Automatic Weather Station Network, Ross Ice Shelf, 2017-2019
Fourteen SnowWEB sensor stations were used to make atmospheric/meteorological observations along the traverse route between Scott Base and Hot Water Drill Site 2, and Hot Water Drill Site 1. Instruments (e.g. thermometers) were installed on masts above the ground.
2017/18: Hot Water Drill Site 1
2018/19: 11 SnowWeb stations were deployed at approximately 16 km intervals between Hot Water Drill Site 1 (HWD1) Camp and Siple Dome
The data will support modelling and remote-sensing studies linked to surface mass balance. At the same time as Phase sensitive radar measurements were made to link meteorological measurements with snow accumulation rates.
