Automatic Weather Station at Evans Piedmont Glacier
An automatic weather station has been established near the 2004/2005 ice coring site that records several parameters to help characterise the meteorology and snow accumulation regime of the area (Fig.2).
page 4- Air Temperature at 2.5 height
- Snow accumulation, and air temperature at 1.5 m height
- Dew point temperature at 2.5 m height
- Solar radiation (incoming) at 2.5 m height
- Snow temperatures (thermistor resistance) from 0.135 to 2.085 m depth in at 13.5 cm intervals
To these were added as of 01 December 2005
- Barometric pressure
- Wind speed (ultrasonic)
- Wind direction (ultrasonic)
