Performance of the Antarctic Observing Network (AntON) TEMP

Upper air stations

The monthly columns show the status of TEMP messages with data to 100 hPa (after quality control) on the GTS, with yellow representing less than 70% of expected messages, amber representing less than 40% and red less than 10% of messages. Stations are assessed against their published programme in WMO No 9, Vol A at the beginning of the year.

NOTE monitoring does not distinguish between problems with generation and transmission of messages. Monitoring is automated and may have errors and there are occasional breaks in the BAS GTS feed. The 100 hPa level is chosen as the minimum target level for GUAN stations, but balloon performance often degrades during the polar winter and not all flights reach this level.
