Summary:
UNAVCO provided five geodetic
quality receivers and a Linux-based laptop computer to co-PI Gordon Hamilton
for snow surface measurements on the U.S. component of the International
Trans-Antarctic Scientific Expedition (ITASE) traverse on the West Antarctic
Ice Sheet. The aim of this traverse is to develop a better understanding
of the last 200 years of West Antarctic climate and environmental change
through multidisciplinary research. Four receivers were used on the traverse
for local measurements and the fifth was left at Byrd Camp as a reference
station. The laptop computer was used to automatically download the reference
receiver at Byrd Camp while it was unattended for six weeks. The data were
archived at UNAVCO after the field season. |
