North Pole Weather Data from 2009 Deployment

Weather data plot
Ice-temperature plot
Map of station drift

Weather plot: This plot presents air temperature, air pressure, and winds measured by the meteorological station. No radiometer was deployed this year. The weather station sensors are working intermittently (Nov. 20, 2009).
