| Parent Dataset: | N/A |
| Quality: | The data has been quality controlled. In AWS_B_2015.txt, the wind speed/direction sensor was not working prior to 29 January 2015. Additionally, the temperatures prior to 18:10 on 29 January 2015 have been corrected by ADDING 0.36degC |
|
|---|---|---|
| Lineage: | Data was logged every 10 seconds and then used to calculate 10 minute averages which were stored on the logger and then downloaded during the Antarctic summer season. | |
