Collection of datasets from the European Space Agency's (ESA) Antarctic Ice Sheets Climate Change Initiative (CCI) project. This is producing long term and reliable climate data records from satellite data for a number of Essential Climate Variables (ECV's) for Antarctica. Current data products relate to Ice Velocities, Gravimetric Mass Balance, Grounding Line Locations and Surface Elevation Changes.

The Antarctic Mesoscale Prediction System (AMPS) is an experimental, real-time numerical weather prediction capability that provides support for the United States Antarctic Program, Antarctic science, and international Antarctic efforts. AMPS produces numerical guidance from the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model with twice-daily forecasts covering Antarctica. The effort is sponsored by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Office of Polar Programs and the NSF UCAR and Lower Atmospheric Facilities Oversight Section. It is a collaboration of the National Center for Atmospheric Research and the Byrd Polar Research Center of The Ohio State University. This dataset contains 4.5km numerical weather prediction data.

Chemistry of the Antarctic Boundary Layer and the Interface with Snow (CHABLIS) is a Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) and Antarctic Funding Initiative (AFI) funded project, aimed at studying the chemistry of the Antarctic Boundary Layer in greater detail, and for a longer duration, than has previously been attempted. Field measurements were carried out at the British Antarctic Survey station, Halley, at the Clean Air Sector Laboratory (CASLab). Year-round measurements began in February 2004, and a summer campaign focussing on oxidants ran during January/February 2005, after which CHABLIS fieldwork ended. The dataset contains PAN (Peroxy-Acetyl-Nitrate) mixing ratio. Access to this dataset is now public.

The dataset contains Ion Chromatograph analysis data (major ions from Cascade Impactor sampling, from high volume air sampling (HIVOL) and low volume air sampling (LOVOL) at Halley). Access to this dataset is now public.

This dataset contains monthly gridded ice velocity maps of the Antarctic Ice Sheet derived from Sentin el-1 data acquired between 2017-01-01 and 2020-08-31. It was generated by ENVEO, as part of the ESA Antarctic Ice Sheet Climate Change Initiative project (Antarctic_Ice_Sheet_cci). The surface velocity is derived by applying feature tracking techniques using Sentinel-1 synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data acquired in the Interferometric Wide (IW) swath mode. Ice velocity is provided at 200m grid spacing in Polar Stereographic projection (EPSG: 3031). The horizontal velocity components are provided in true meters per day, towards easting and northing direction of the grid. The vertical displacement is derived from a digital elevation model. Provided is a NetCDF file with the velocity components: vx, vy, vz, along with maps showing the magnitude of the horizontal components, the valid pixel count and uncertainty. The product combines all ice velocity maps, based on 6- and 12-day repeats, acquired within a single month in a monthly averaged product.
