Weather Station

Attention:

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.

Summary

Contacts

Components

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