The following files are climatology data from years 1998 to present for
several fieldcamps around the continent.  The data includes temperature (degrees
C), visibility (hours), weather situation and duration (in hours for each event
category), precipitation amount (in), IFR (hours), wind speed (m/s) and 
direction, sky cover, ceiling, pressure (inches), total observations taken, 
daily pressure and temperature changes, wind chill, and dew point temperatures (C) . 

Separate readme files are available for the Black Island and METAR data, which
can be found in each respective folder.

Wind directions are reported in GRID direction and not compass direction 
(that is the orientation of GRID "North" is to the top of a map of 
Antarctica, with the prime meridian/Greenwich 0 degrees longitude to 
the top of the map)
