Page History

The observatory is always manned with a weather radio technician and a meteorologist during scientific cruises. The facilities of the meteorological observatory can be co-used by scientists for special measurements.

The weatherstation consists of different sensors (see: subdevices) and a data acquisition unit. The data acquisition unit developed by AWI in colaboration with [FIELAX|http://www.fielax.de] provides local data storage and data transfer to the DShip system.

Time synchronising is regulated via ntp between the acquisition computer xdas1 and the central ntp-server on board.
Geographical ship's position via DShip.

Data storage in DShip system.
