1Temperature variability at Siple Dome, West Antarctica, derived from ECMWF re-analyses, SSM/I and SMMR brightness temperatures and AWS records
We produced four independent temperature time-series derived from different sensors for the Siple Dome region of West Antarctica to investigate seasonal to inter-annual temperature variability over the last 20 years. We use data from Automatic Weather Station (AWS) air temperature records (1997-1999...
