Antarctic geophysical data is important for research and logistical needs including studies of localized weather, operational weather forecasting, climate monitoring, and the movement of ice sheets. The Antarctic Meteorological Research Center (AMRC) houses various types of geophysical data for the Antarctic, and in particular, meteorological data. This database is the premier weather data collection system for the United States Antarctic program. Within this database, satellite imagery, weather station observations, model output, climatological data, and pilot reports are just some of the data available. All data is available to the public and scientific community free of charge, as long as it is used for educational or scientific purposes. The purpose of this presentation is to introduce the full extent of the AMRC collection to the Antarctic community.
