AbstractThe Antarctic Meteorological Research Center (AMRC), located at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, serves several communities by maintaining and extending the stewardship of meteorological data pertinent to the Antarctic continent, its surrounding islands, ice sheets and ice margins and the adjacent Southern Ocean. This data will continue to be made freely available to interested researchers and the general public. Activities of particular interest for the current award include the development of an enhanced data portal to provide improved data and analysis tools to the research community, and to continue to add to the evolution of the Antarctic-Internet Data Distribution system, which is meant to overcome the costly and generally low bandwidth internet connectivity to and from the Antarctic continent. Operational forecasting for logistical activities in the Antarctic, as well as active Antarctic meteorological research programs, are clearly in need of a dependable, steady flow of meteorological observations, model output, and related data in what must be a collaborative environment in order to overcome the otherwise distributed nature of Antarctic meteorological and climatological observations.AMRC interaction with the public through answering e-mail questions, giving informal public lectures and presentations to K-12 education institutions through visits to schools will help to raise science literacy with regards to meteorology and of the Antarctic and polar regions. "This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5)."

位于麦迪逊的威斯康星州大学的南极气象研究中心（AMRC）通过维护和扩展与南极大陆、其周围岛屿、冰盖和冰缘以及邻近的南大洋有关的气象数据的管理，为几个社区提供服务。这些数据将继续免费提供给感兴趣的研究人员和公众。特别感兴趣的活动包括开发一个增强的数据门户网站，为研究界提供更好的数据和分析工具，并继续增加舌形互联网数据分发系统的发展，这是为了克服昂贵和普遍低带宽的互联网连接到南极大陆。南极后勤活动的业务预报，以及积极的南极气象研究计划，显然需要一个可靠的，稳定的气象观测，模式输出和相关数据流，必须是一个协作的环境，以克服南极气象和气候观测的分散性。AMRC通过回答电子邮件问题与公众互动，通过访问学校，向K-12教育机构提供非正式的公开讲座和演讲，将有助于提高气象学和南极及极地地区的科学素养。 “该奖项是根据2009年美国复苏和再投资法案（公法111-5）资助的。"
