Collaborative Research: Antarctic Meteorological Research and Data Center

南极气象研究和数据中心(AMRDC)项目将建立一个基于开放源码平台的南极气象观测数据储存库和档案系统，以管理从提交到最终用户检索的数据。新的档案系统将托管目前可用的数据集和其他南极调查人员存放的活动气象数据集。该项目还将吸引本科生和研究生，以便为他们提供可转化为几个科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)职业道路的有意义的经验。该项目以四项主要任务为起点，以满足现有建议并创建更可持续的南极气象事业：1.指定南极气象研究和数据中心(AMRDC)，2.以WMO BUFR格式分发自动气象站(AWS)观测数据，3.为AMRDC建立一个指导委员会，4.南极气象事件诊断案例研究。这一奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The Antarctic Meteorological Research and Data Center (AMRDC) project will create an Antarctic meteorological observational data repository and archive system based on an open source platform to manage data from submission to end-user retrieval. The new archival system will host both currently available datasets and campaign meteorological datasets deposited by other Antarctic investigators. The project will also engage undergraduate and graduate students in order to provide them with meaningful experiences that can translate to several science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) career paths.This project targets four main tasks as a starting point toward meeting existing recommendations and creating a more sustainable Antarctic meteorological enterprise: 1. Designation of the Antarctic Meteorological Research and Data Center (AMRDC), 2. Distribution of Automatic Weather Station (AWS) observations on GTS in WMO BUFR format, 3. Establish a steering committee for the AMRDC, and 4. Diagnostic case studies of Antarctic meteorological events.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
