南极自动气象站项目：30年极地观测南极拥有世界上最恶劣的环境之一。从最早的探险开始，一个主要的挑战就是描述南极大陆周围的地表气象。1980年，威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校（UW-Madison）接管了美国南极计划（USAP）自动气象站（AWS）计划。从那时起，威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校的AWS网络帮助人们了解了独特的南极天气和气候。本文总结了威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校AWS网络的发展，与仪器和数据质量相关的问题，以及这些观测已经并将继续有利于科学调查和业务气象的一些方式。
ANTARCTIC AUTOMATIC WEATHER STATION PROGRAM: 30 YEARS OF POLAR OBSERVATIONSAntarctica boasts one of the world's harshest environments. Since the earliest expeditions, a major challenge has been to characterize the surface meteorology around the continent. In 1980, the University of Wisconsin - Madison (UW-Madison) took over the U.S. Antarctic Program (USAP) Automatic Weather Station (AWS) program. Since then, the UW-Madison AWS network has aided in the understanding of unique Antarctic weather and climate. This paper summarizes the development of the UW-Madison AWS network, issues related to instrumentation and data quality, and some of the ways these observations have and continue to benefit scientific investigations and operational meteorology.
