The aerovane was not completely and securely attached, causing erroneous measurements of wind data. 10/01/10 -- Data for Byrd (08903) have been replaced for 2009 to correct a problem with the wind direction. 08/31/10 -- Data for Willie Field (30477) for 2009 have been replaced to add wind values for January through May and just wind speed for June through December due to a loose shaft on the aerovane. 04/26/10 -- Data for Swithinbank (08927) for November, 2009 through December, 2009 have been replaced to remove erroneous pressure values. 03/19/10 -- Data for Pegasus North (08923) have been added for February through September, 2009. Only the temperature data is available. 03/11/10 -- Willie Field (30477) data have been removed for all of 2009 due to an instrumention problem with the pressure and a possible problem with the wind direction. 01/13/10 -- All available Antarctic data for December, 2009 have been added. 12/15/09 -- All available Antarctic data for November, 2009 have been added. 11/19/09 -- Data for Bonaparte Point (08921) have been replaced for January, 2009 through October, 2009 to correct the wind direction. Data for Swithinbank (08927) and Willie Field (30477) for July through October, 2009 have been replaced to remove erroneous pressure values. Data for Pegasus North (08937) have been replaced for September and October, 2009 to remove erroneous wind speed and direction. 11/13/09 -- All available Antarctic data for October, 2009 have been added. 10/15/09 -- All available Antarctic data for September, 2009 have been added. 09/28/09 -- All available Antarctic data for July, 2009 have been replaced because 2 days were missing from the original data. 09/15/09 -- All available Antarctic data for August, 2009 have been added. 08/11/09 -- All available Antarctic data for July, 2009 have been added. 07/17/09 -- Data for Margaret (08910) for January and February of 2009 have been replaced to add some missing data. 07/10/09 -- All available Antarctic data for June, 2009 have been added. 06/12/09 -- All available Antarctic data for May, 2009 have been added. 06/11/09 -- All data for Relay Station (08918) for January, 2009 through April, 2009 have been removed. The station was damaged in transit and is not transmitting properly. 05/14/09 -- All available Antarctic data for April, 2009 have been added. 04/15/09 -- All available Antarctic data for March, 2009 have been added. 04/13/09 -- Data for 21357 and 21364 have been replaced and x1364 has been added for January to separate stations which were replaced with active number. 21357 moved from Pegasus North to Elaine, 21364 is Willie Field and x1364 is Kominko-Slade. 03/30/09 -- Data for Fossil Bluff (08920) have been replaced for January, 2006 through February, 2009. Data for Butler Island (08902), Limbert (08925), Sky Blu (08917), and Larsen Ice Shelf (08926) have been replaced for January and February, 2009. A change in processing has added many new observations. 03/17/09 -- Data for Bonaparte Point (08921) have been replaced January and February, 2009 to fix a problem with the wind speed. 03/12/09 -- All available Antarctic data for February, 2009 have been added. 02/18/09 -- All available Antarctic data for January, 2009 have been added.
