Mawson Station Antarctica Ice Thickness Data

This dataset contains records of ice thickness and snow thickness from Mawson, Antarctica. Measurements were attempted on a weekly basis and have been recorded since 1954 and are ongoing, although this record only contains data up until the end of 1989. The observations are not continuous however.


The dataset is available via the provided URL.


These data were also collected as part of ASAC projects 189 and 741.
