Remote and autonomous measurements of precipitation for the northwestern Ross Ice Shelf, Antarctica
The Antarctic Precipitation System project deployed and maintained four sites across the northwestern Ross Ice Shelf in Antarctica from November 2017 to November 2019. The goals for the project included the collection of in situ observations of precipitation in Antarctica spanning a duration of 2 ye...
