Full description

Data consist of an excel spreadsheet with two worksheets. The first is the locations and measurements of orientations of elongated wind pits (tafoni) which indicate former wind directions over geomorphic time scales (probably thousands of years). Data manipulations are also given, leading to the vector mean orientation and vector magnitude. The second worksheet contains automatic weather station data from Edgeworth David in 1986 and Apfel Glacier in 2000, with wind azimuths and speeds.

Lineage

Progress Code: completed
Statement: The features are not distributed evenly in the field. See the mapped data in; Gore, D.B., Leishman, M.R. 2020. Salt, sediments and weathering environments of Bunger Hills. Antarctic Science 32(2), 138-152, and the raw data at; https://data.aad.gov.au/metadata/records/AAS_926_Bunger_Hills_Salt_Sediment_Weathering Start and stop dates in temporal coverage refer to the run time for the project only.

Notes

Purpose
The aim was to understand whether or not current day winds are the same orientation as Holocene epoch winds. This is of interest because wind directions reflect the ice sheet geometry, and indications of stability or change to the ice sheet.

Data time period: 1995-07-01 to 1996-06-30
