Western Arctic Ice Drift and Expedition Ship Stations

Western Arctic ice drifting stations, AIDJEX, ARLIS I, ARLIS II, Ice Station Alpha, Ice Station Charlie, T-3 (called Ice Station Bravo during IGY), and ships Maud and Fram provide surface meteorological data for the Arctic Ocean. These data were collected and organized by NCDC and NSIDC leading to the production of a CDROM.

Several different versions of the data are available, extending from the original key entered data to variable subsets and QC versions developed in uniform format for all stations.
