Climate, Drift, and Image Data from Antarctic Icebergs A22A and UK211, 2006-2007

Entry ID: NSIDC-0466

[ Update this Record ]

Summary

Abstract: This data set includes a variety of station data from two Antarctic icebergs. In 2006, researchers installed specialized weather stations called Automated Meteorological Ice Geophysical Observing Stations (AMIGOS) on two icebergs, A22A and UK211 (nicknamed Amigosberg), near Marambio Station in Antarctica.The AMIGOS stations were outfitted with Global Positioning System (GPS) sensors, cameras, and ...
