Automated Weather Station Network, Antarctica, 2021-Present
Automated weather stations were installed to measure local scale weather conditions at Miers Valley, Miers Ridge, Commonwealth Glacier, Cape Christie, and Haystack Mountain. Miers Valley, Miers Ridge and Haystack Mountain stations have been operating since early 2021. Commonwealth Glacier and Cape Christie were installed in December 2022, and 2023, respectively.
