| Abstract | Satellite measurements of the surface snow temperatures on the East Antarctic Plateau have identified an extensive area where mid-winter conditions are frequently below -90°C. A specialized surface observation station has been built and partially tested and is intended to link surface observations with the satellite data. The station is designed to measure surface conditions, including wind and blowing snow. These data will be transmitted during the Antarctic winter. The site will also be instru |
