Battle of the weather report. German and Allied Metrological Stations in North East Greenland during World War II
Data from meteorological stations under allied control was banded in order to obstruct the weather forecast of the Axis Powers. Germany thus had to build her own meteorological stations in North East Greenland in order to make reliable weather forecasts of the North Atlantic and Western Europe. The project is an interdisciplinary archaeological and historical investigation of the weather stations and battles between Allied and German forces in North East Greenland.
