Responses Rothera (UK) Data archived since 1993. Available from NERC NEODAAS archive at PML. http://www.neodaas.ac.uk/projects.php McMurdo (US) AARC/Scripps has archive since mid-1980s (Terascan format). AMRC/Uwisconsin has archive for 1992 ~ 2007 (raw and Terascan formats). Data is not online at either location. Palmer (US) AARC/Scripps has some data archived. Awaiting details. Syowa (Japan) Data archived at National Institute for Polar Research (NIPR) for research. Awaiting further details. Neumayer (Germany) Archive on tape at AWI starting ~1998 (probably Terascan format). Will send all to AMRC/Uwisconsin if desired. Not archiving anymore. Aside: Wants to know if STG can help arrange for DMSP to be received for Antarctic research again.
Responses, cont. Casey (Australia) Archive from 1997 – 2007 at BoM, NOAA-12 through -18 (ASDA format, which is their own scheme of raw data with a header). Older years online, but possibly only accessible internally. Can make it available outside. Negative orNon-responses: Davis (Australia) Apparently nothing. Norway No HRPT data for Antarcica.
