Brief description

Automatic Weather Station [AWS] data obtained at site Eagle (en route to Dome Argus), Antarctica. The Eagle site is along the traverse route from Eastern Prydz Bay to DomeA.

Data from this AWS are currently available from 2005-2017. At this stage the AWS remains operational, and the data record will be updated as further data become available.

The surface elevation of Eagle is 2834 m above sea level.

The Eagle AWS measures:
- 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.
