The authors thank all the persons involved in the transport, installation, servicing and dismantling of the weather stations. The technical staff of the IMAU is acknowledged for the design of the weather stations. The Alfred Wegener Institute (AWI) is acknowledged for the support regarding the weather stations at Kohnen Base (AWS9), on Berkner Island (AWS10) and on the Halvfarryggen ice rise (AWS11). The installations of weather stations on Plateau station B (AWS12), and the Pole of inaccessibility (AWS13) were carried out under the umbrella of the project Trans-Antarctic Scientific Traverse Expeditions – Ice Divide of East Antarctica (TASTE-IDEA), funded by the Norwegian Polar Institute, the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), and the Research Council of Norway within the framework of TASTE-IDEA project 152 of IPY 2007–2008. The installations of AWS1-3 were carried out at a traverse during the Norwegian Antarctic Research Expedition (NARE) 1996/97 organized by the Norwegian Polar Institute. The traverse was a contribution to the "European Project for Ice Coring in Antarctica" (EPICA), a joint ESF (European Science Foundation)/EC scientific programme, funded by the European Commission under the Environment and Climate Programme (1994-1998) contract ENV4-CT95-0074 and by national contributions from Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, The Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. The Finnish Antarctic Research Program, (FINNARP) at the Finnish Meteorological Institute (FMI) is acknowledged for the support with the operation of the weather station at Wasa/Aboa Camp Maudheimvida (AWS5). The Royal Meteorological Institute of Belgium (KMI) and the KU Leuven are acknowledged for the support regarding the weather station at the Princess Elisabeth station (AWS16) and On the King Baudouin ice shelf (AWS19). The British Antarctic survey is acknowledged for the support with the operations of the weather stations on the Larsen C ice shelf: North (AWS14), South (AWS15) and Cabinet inlet (AWS18), and on the remnants of the Larsen B ice shelf on Scar inlet (AWS17). The Swedish Antarctic Research Programme (SWEDARP) is acknowledged for the support with the operations of the weather station at the Rampen site 1090 (AWS4), Wasa/Aboa Camp Maudheimvida (AWS5), Svea (AWS6), Scharffenbergbotnen (AWS7), and Camp Victoria (AWS8) in Dronning Maud Land. The weather station on Roi Baudouin ice shelf (AWS19) was installed in the framework of the BENEMELT project, funded by the InBev-Baillet Latour Antarctica Fellowship, a joint initiative of the InBev-Baillet Latour Fund and the International Polar Foundation (IPF).
