This project aimed to improve observational knowledge of winds along the Antarctic coast and use this to both evaluate the current state-of-the art climate models and help make improvements for the next model generation.
ACES (Antarctic Cyclones: Expression in Sea-ice) addressed the issue of how sea ice cover in the Southern Ocean changes when a high intensity storm passes over the ice.
The SCAR ADD is a seamless compilation of topographic data for Antarctica to 60°S. It is the place to go to get data such as Antarctic coastline or contours for working in desktop GIS.
The UK EISCAT support group (UKESG) is a collaboration between the British Antarctic Survey and the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, funded via the National Centre for Atmospheric Science (NCAS).
This research focuses on investigating the glacial histories of Arctic ice sheets and ice caps using the marine geological record preserved on continental margins.
The overarching goal of the project is to determine the role of sea-ice surface properties in Arctic cyclone dynamics and to characterise the interaction of Arctic cyclones with the summer-time Arctic environment.
AIMS gathers baseline scientific data on Ascension Island’s globally important marine wildlife and fisheries to help the island government manage and conserve its marine resources.
The Assets Tracking Service shows where British Antarctic Survey ships, aircraft and vehicles are at any given time.
An online data access tool to discover, visualise and access atmospheric and space weather data holdings from the polar regions.
Joule Heating investigated how space weather affects the upper atmosphere’s ability to slow down orbiting satellite debris.
The BAS Animal Welfare & Ethics Review Body (AWERB) enforces British Antarctic Survey’s duty of care to protect animals.
BAS-RBM simulates changes in the high-energy electrons trapped around Earth to help protect satellites, improve forecasting of space weather, and understand radiation belts at Jupiter and Saturn.
