The main goal is to establish the dispersal capability of microorganisms in the Antarctic Continent and thus explain the biogeography of Antarctic organisms in a climate change scenario, in which the deglaciation processes are triggering that substrates ice covered for several thousands of years remain exposed to the new-comers. 

A Mobile-Automatic Weather Station (M-AWS) will be installed on an eco-vehicle and scientific platform that will move across the East Antarctic Ice Sheet. This will provide meteorological observations of the surface conditions in a transect across the less explored areas of Antarctica that will be used for verification of the numerical weather models and analyses across a wide range of altitude. 

Analyzing ATmosphere-surface interactions in MOUNTain areas for improved understanding of global change impacts III: Gravity waves, orographic precipitation and related processes in mountain areas 

In-situ meteorological forecasting support for all the scientific and logistics activities carried out in the Spanish Antarctic stations, and the collection of meteorological data and the maintenance of the observation infrastructure to create long-term series.
