Plateau Weather: A Synoptic Study of IAGO and ANARE Observations in East Antarctica
Automatic weather stations (AWS) have been operated for a number of years by U.S. and French scientists cooperating in Project Interactions Atmosphere, Glace, Ocean (IAGO) and by the Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions (ANARE). Six of these stations are sufficiently close to one anoth...
