ABSTRACT

Due to the severe environment in the polar region, many polar areas are nearly unreachable and long-term residents are very limited. To meet the demands of global change research and remote sensing verification in the Antarctic, our team developed an ice and snow remote monitoring platform with multiple interfaces in the polar region. The platform is installed on the Antarctic ice sheet and continuously observes its environment. At present, the basic observation capabilities of this platform include the following: 1) temperature; 2) humidity; 3) illumination; 4) atmospheric pressure; 5) GPS; 6) accumulation ratio and melting quantity of snow; and 7) nine-layer snow temperature. The platform, which can be designed according to different needs and has strong expansion capabilities, has already operated on the Antarctic ice sheet for nearly two years and has acquired many data for scientific research.
