AOX2

Our ability to understand and predict weather and climate requires an accurate observing network. One of the pillars of this network is the observation of the fundamental meteorological parameters: temperature, air pressure, and wind. We have been assessing our ability to measure these parameters for the Polar Regions during the Arctic Observing Experiment (AOX) at the DOE/ARM NSA site to support the International Arctic Buoy Programme (IABP), the Arctic Observing Network (AON), the International Program for Antarctic Buoys (IPAB), and the Southern Ocean Observing System (SOOS).
