18. Antarctic Wind Atlas The Antarctic experimental campaign has received funding from the Swiss Polar Institute under the grant agreement Polar Access Fund 2023-004. This grant has also enabled compensation of CO2 - emissions due to travel. This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under the Marie Skłodowska- Curie grant agreement No 945363. Thank you! Special thanks to my supervisors Prof. Michael Lehning Dr. Hendrik Huwald
