Abstract:

The Antarctic Mesoscale Prediction System (AMPS) is a real-time numerical weather prediction capability that provides support for the United States Antarctic Program, Antarctic science, and international Antarctic efforts. The data include the output of the atmospheric forecast models used in AMPS in NetCDF format, subsets of this output in GRIB1 format, and files of mostly graphical forecast products derived from the output.

Citation counts are compiled through information provided by publicly-accessible APIs according to the guidelines developed through the https://makedatacount.org/ project. If journals do not provide citation information to these publicly-accessible services, then this citation information will not be included in RDA citation counts. Additionally citations that include dataset DOIs are the only types included in these counts, so legacy citations without DOIs, references found in publication acknowledgements, or references to a related publication that describes a dataset will not be included in these counts.
