Data Acquisition
Sat Nov 7 07:49:02 2009
VECO Polar Resources, NFS's Arctic Logistics Provider, is
supporting Dr. Sullivan's research by providing data transmission and
storage during the length of his project.
The data comprises hourly soil moisture and temperature readings
in addition to local meteorological readings: rainfall, wind speed,
air temperature, and solar radiation.
Through a solar powered Campbell Scientific CR1000 datalogger and
Iridium satellite modem, project data is transmitted daily to this
site for storage and plotting.
Although the study site, in the Noatak National Reserver, is very
remote, data analysis is possible throughout the year owing to this
capability.
