Brief description

Automatic Weather Station data obtained at traverse site 69 along the Lambert Glacier Basin, Antarctica.

Data from this AWS are available intermittently, with (i) the first installation LGB69 from 22 January 2002 to 02 February 2007 and (ii) the 2nd installation LGB69-A 02 February 2007 to 20 August 2008. Together 2002 to 2009 encapsulates the full operational lifetime of AWS instrumentation at this location.

Data from this AWS are available intermittently, with (i) the first installation LGB69 from 22 January 2002 to 02 February 2007 and (ii) the 2nd installation LGB69-A 02 February 2007 to 20 August 2008. Together 2002 to 2009 encapsulates the full operational lifetime of AWS instrumentation at this location.

LGB69 had been deployed at 70.835277^oS and 77.074722^oE, moving slowly downslope. The surface elevation of the AWS site LGB69 was 1850 m, while that of LGB6-A was 1854m.

The LGB69 AWSes measured:
- wind speed (knots)
- air temperature - with sensors mounted on mast arms at 1 m, 2 m and 4 m above the snow surface (degrees Celsius)
- snow temperature at 0.1 m, 1 m, 3 m and 10 m depth
- atmospheric pressure (hPa)
- wind direction (degrees)
- incoming solar radiation (MJ per square metre)
- relative humidity (percent)
- snow-fall rate.
(We note that sensor heights decrease as precipitation settles at the site.)

Time is given in UTC.
