Cameras

After our first visit we left an automatic weather station and two GPS receivers. All three are outfitted to phone the data back to David Holland’s office at New York University. You can see a time-lapse movie (opens in a new window) of the first few days at the weather station. Camera A is on the instrument tower and looks south at the solar panels and wind generators. Camera B is on a solar panel pole and looks north (to Pine Island Bay) at instrument tower. This information will help us learn what the weather is like and how the flow of the ice shelf responds.
