Antarctic Weather Reports
http://www.amnh.org/education/resources/rfl/web/antarctica/weather/index.html


This interactive data set allows students to get a feel for why Antarctica is known as the windiest, coldest, and driest continent. It allows users to select and view weather reports (January 1 - September 30, 2000) for 22 Antarctic locations. A brief overview gives directions for how to view the Automatic Weather Station (AWS) reports. For each AWS, students can see monthly averages or select a specific day for hourly reports. The information includes temperature, pressure, wind speed, wind direction, and relative humidity readings.
